[spqrblues]

You can read this version, or you can wait for version 2, which will be, uhm, different in some way. Like, maybe I'll finish inking it :)

Wild science fiction parties? You weren’t at the SFFWA reception last night, were you?

Why doesn't anyone believe me? I don't wanna be Caesar.

Funny how Caesar wannabes just assume everyone else is, too.

(grin)

Wonder if Ambition Boy is beginning to think it wasn't a good idea to waste Honour Boy's "family" at sea -- or maybe it was fortunate. By the gods, this conspiracy and dealing gets complicated.

She is the total coolness.

Now if she just remembered to drink that bottle of wine for me...

Why, yes, I was. Remember the person in the scarlet wig, painted silver, dancing in a chainmail bikini on the table in front of the Conan painting? I was on the other side of the room, cornered by high-powered, tipsy editors.

(Shh... don't tell anyone who wasn't there that there weren't really chainmail bikinis and speedos being handed out at the door.

But there were tipsy editors.)

Go on, admit it--you wannabe Caesar, too.

Speaking of which: The games are here! Caesar IV! Now I just have to get myself to the post office :D

I wasn’t there. I was gonna, but I skipped it to hang with the Scott McCloud dinner posse after his presentation at NYU.

SPQR Blues Happy Birthday Dansu! Dansu!

Yay! Yay!

Wow, had I known there would be a McCloud presentation, I might have gone. I am so unhip.

[cyanocorax.livejournal.com]

Either one of these sounds much more hip than where I was last night: parent-teacher conferences. And I'd much rather schmooze any day (even with people in a totally different field than my own) than work.

Just when I think Felix is getting a clue he goes and does something naive and dangerous. Thrilling but yikes.

How was the party? I might have considered going, but I was too busy wearing my same pajamas since Saturday.

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

Erk. I wrote a long comment, so of course lj ate it.

Let's see: The food was tacky, but the likker was free; it was so nosiy I couldn't hear most of what anyone was saying; I ran into Martha and other HC people right about when I had had enough of lurking around looking at the children's book illustrations and was ready to flee; I met a couple of other lost-looking people to wander around with; I failed to impress anyone with my lack of sparkliness; and you would have no doubt wowed all those SF people with the power and importance of Children's Books. There were a few YA authors there I had a chance to talk with--Holly Black (who must think I'm a maniac now); Sara Beth Durst (who was incredibly nice and has a book upcoming from Razorbill); a few illustrators I got to talk art with; and... well... a lot of tipsy editors :)

Now, then. Why are you reading lj?? You have a novel to finish, so you can be super famous!
