Yes, more Worldcon photos. I’ve broken them up across multiple posts so the page didn’t load so slowly readers would think they were back in the Geocities era.<\/p>\n

Dantzel Cherry and her friends charge up their eye lasers. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Legendary fan David Kyle, who attended the first Worldcon in New York City in 1939!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How many legends can you spot in this photo? David Hartwell, Robert Silverberg, and Joe and Gay Haldeman all talk to David Kyle. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Connie Willis, enjoying the first Worldcon where she wasn’t required to present an award since she was six years old. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With Mary Robinette Kowal, who survived the ordeal of being a SFWA officer. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Michael Cassutt, just minutes before he was tragically bored to death at the Robert A. Heinlein Society annual meeting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Adam-Troy Castro. “I said sell<\/i> Greek bonds! SELL!”<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Steve Jackson, who was there with his Chaos Machine setup. “What’s that? I can’t hear you over the sound of all that money my Ogre Kickstarter made<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not-so-secret master of Fandom Ben Yalow. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

John Picacio, in the last known photo of him before he won the freaking Hugo Award<\/b>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

James Patrick Kelly and Robert Silverberg.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saturday night I dined with Scott Bobo, Kurt Baty, Sarah Felix, Ed Scarborough, and Spike and Tom at Everest, a 7 course meal that took three and a half hours and cost $200. Sunday, before the Hugos? I ate at Chipolte with Dantzel and some of her friends. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Remember, pictures of attractive women are your best blog-visit drivers!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

David Brin is the Belle of the Ball: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Molly Nixon, ready for the Hugos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As is Mary Robinette Kowal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jim Minz and Mike Resnick at the door of the Baen party.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scott Edelman and Robert Reed, in a diagonally framed shot to get both of them in.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jay Lake, embossed by rocketship.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You go, I go, for podcasting Hugos:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Neil Gaiman, after the Hugos. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

John Scalzi in Murder by Hugo<\/b> (Neil’s, as it happens).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scott Edelman’s fashion approaches David Hartwell levels of taste.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And now, for the full effect: With the shoes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A better picture of Sue Burke, with 85% less “about to be eaten by zombies” grimness.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Texas Worldcon Chairman Bill Parker looking sharp.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jim Mann, proving that some moose ties kan be pretty nasti.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another crappy picture of Charlie Stross, this one wearing his “Christopher Priest yells at a cloud” inspired t-shirt.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s not my fault! She kept changing her outfit!<\/p>\n
