Photos from the 2013 San Antonio Worldcon

Monday, December 9th, 2013

I knew that dealing books at Worldcon would eat up a lot of time, but I had no idea just how much time it would take me to not only get all the books back on the shelf, but to catch up on everything I set aside while getting ready for, then recovering from, Worldcon.

Which explains why I’m just now putting up the pictures I took there. Here are the handful of pictures I took at Worldcon that came out decent.

Clotheshorse that she is, the lovely and talented Gail Carriger kicks off our review with the first of three outfits I managed to photograph.

A second.

P1000065

And a third.

And here’s the same outfit she insisted I snap with her own camera. “You’ve got to include the shoes!”

P1000034

Stina Leicht, sitting next to me at the Rayguns Over Texas event at the San Antonio Library.

P1000035

Scott Cupp and Josh Rountree at the same event. The other photos I took there came out crappy.

P1000039

Bookseller and con chair Mike Walsh.

P1000043

Lou Antonelli channels Flavor-Flav.

P1000044

Howard Waldrop and Eileen Gunn, just before Howard went three rounds with a concrete step.

And here’s Howard just after that bout.

Andrew Porter, now free of the terrible burden of publishing a semi-prozine.

P1000048

Pat Murphy, back again.

P1000050

Ex-NASA employee Al Jackson.

P1000051

Ex-Austinite Maureen McHugh.

P1000052

Kim Stanley Robinson, back from whatever frozen locale he’s visiting this time. Possibly Iapetus.

P1000054

Gardner Dozois at full rant.

P1000055

Gardner Dozois at full rest. The two modes are deceptively similar.

P1000058

In 2012, Pat Cadigan asked me to take down one of her pictures. So this year I made sure that this picture with Robert Silverberg was 100% flattering.

P1000059

I think this is a very good picture of Dwight Brown.

P1000060

Rich Simental, who spent much of the con in his room working on a completely different con.

P1000062

Ben Yalow. Or possibly one of those hundreds of Ben Yalow impersonators you hear so much about.

P1000067

Max Merriwell, in a very clever diusguise.

David Kyle

David Kyle, who I think has passed the late Forrest J. Ackerman for Most Worldcons Attended.

I’m sorry that I didn’t get pictures of Alastair Reynolds, David Brin, Jack McDevitt, Joe and Joy Haldeman, and Lois McMaster Bujold (among others I missed), who were all kind enough to come by the Lame Excuse Books booth.
