\nMark Finn, rocking the cutting edge of FEZ NATION!<\/p>\n


\nHoward Waldrop.<\/p>\n


\nDwight Brown gets the pre-convention lunch off to his usual facepalming start. What set him off this time was Todd saying “Look! We’re haircut twinsies!”<\/p>\n


\nDUFF winner David Cake. <\/p>\n


\nEarly Turkey Citizen Joe Pumilia.<\/p>\n

There was a picture of William Browning Spencer, but he has evidently grown disenchanted with his own visage, and asked that it be removed..<\/p>\n


\nAl Jackson. For once I snapped a picture with his eyes open. Thanks for lunch, Al!<\/p>\n


\nDwight, mournful that his mama took his Kodachrome away.<\/p>\n


\nMichael Sumbera, taking a break from assembling his retail sales empire.<\/p>\n


\nAaron Allston. Generally, I only see Aaron at: A.) Cons, or B.) Indian restaurants. <\/p>\n


\nJames Reasoner. <\/p>\n


\nJohn DeNardo: “You know I hate having my picture taken.” Naturally, after he said that, I’m required to take his picture several additional times.<\/p>\n


\nLike this one.<\/p>\n


\nAnd this one.<\/p>\n


\nBruce Sterling was having a garage sale of books at the con. Here he is holding aloft the (true story) Rudy Rucker books I had pulled from the pile, refusing to sell them to me. Including the copy of The 57th Franz Kafka<\/b> I had given him as a gift 15 years before. “I’ve got to donate these to UT.” Thanks a lot, Bruce. <\/p>\n


\nBill Crider, reenacting a scene from Daredevil<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nBill again, now with added sight. <\/p>\n


\nStina Leicht, with her hair in the traditional Blue Con shade. <\/p>\n


\nTwo people, both of whom complained that I took their picture too much. You can see how well those complaints worked out for them.<\/p>\n


\nRocky Kelley, artistic dandy and man-about-town.<\/p>\n


\nJessica Reisman. The camera is set properly, it’s just that Jessica lives her entire life in soft focus. Doctors keep doing tests to determine the cause.<\/p>\n


\nJasmina Tesanovic and Bruce Sterling. “It’s a 110\u00b0 out today! I’m feeling pretty darn good about my Global Warming predictions!”<\/p>\n


\nDerek Johnson. You can’t see it, but just below the frame of this picture, he’s clutching a snifter of brandy with one hand and stroking a white cat with the other.<\/p>\n


\nGretchen Peterson Johnston shows that she is totally<\/i> ready for the Fetish Boot Ball. <\/p>\n


\nChris Nakashima-Brown<\/del> n.<\/i> Brown<\/del> this guy I know. <\/p>\n


\nYvonne Daily and Phil Brogden, who you may remember from such hits as “Goddamnit, Lawrence, you sure take a lot of freaking convention pictures, don’t you?”<\/a><\/p>\n


\nRobert Jackson Bennett, author of the spiffy first novel Mr. Shivers<\/b>, copies of which can be obtained in the usual manner<\/a>. <\/p>\n


\nBradley Denton assumes the now-traditional “Oh yeah? Then I’ll take YOUR picture!” position. <\/p>\n


\nJessica Reisman Redux.<\/p>\n


\nPaolo Bacigalupi and Bruce Sterling, debating whose global warming future is more wretched and dystopian. <\/p>\n


\nRich Simental. <\/p>\n


\n“NEVER MIND!”<\/p>\n


\nThe Space Squidians, shortly after freebasing some ink. <\/p>\n


\nBrad Foster, with a Hugo that might seem familiar<\/a>. <\/p>\n


\n“You so naughty!”<\/p>\n


\nKasey Lansdale, mooning over Mark Finn. (I warned you, Finn! I said UNMARKED twenties!)<\/p>\n


\nScott Cupp, James Reasoner and Joe R. Lansdale, talking about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and why you can’t get good belt onions anymore. <\/p>\n


\nBen Yalow. <\/p>\n
