The Fantastic Northwest
Mario here:
I'm in sunny Seattle. It's true. The sky's so bright I
should've brought sunglasses.
I'm here for
Norwescon, which ended yesterday. Met lots of great authors and fans. Kudos to William
Sadorus, the Evil Overlord of the conference, for keeping the chaos running smoothly.
Richelle Mead and
Kat Richardson were my
chaperones and they did too good of a job as I never got into serious trouble.
The visit started with a signing at the University Bookstore. Here are table mates
Richelle and
Warren Hammond.
At
Norwescon we had the usual fantasy nuttiness and great costumes. Here's one that caught my eye (or rather, both of them).
As the gracious host, Kat took me to her home, this enormous yacht. Here's her crew, husband Jim (with ferrets below deck).
Richelle put me up for the night in her swanky
bachelorette pad. It's a writer's home as you can tell by this photo of her desk:
Next time, my report on our road trip to Powell's Books in
Beaverton, Oregon.
