From Dville "I also got to sit by David at dinner, and noticed the black eye but thought that it would be rude to comment on. Now I wished I had... sigh ..."
I noticed the black eye, too, and felt sorry for (David) Since I didn't know him, I didn't ask or comment on it. Later, I started to see a few other things--the devil horns spring to mind-and I started to think maybe it was makeup. Really authentic, though, even in the photos. I wish I had seen that booth in the dealers' rooms, but I didn't see half the things I wanted to at the con. My first con in a long time, since. . . er, AggieCon 7, actually, and I don't have the stamina for cons like I did then.
My son actually remembered which AggieCon it was because I had the program and he took it for a treasure hunt they had in another AggieCons. Back to ConDFW--New Authors to READ! Yea! I have been into Selina Rosen and Rachel Caine for days, and also got The Vampire Files, first three Jack Fleming novels by P.N.Elrod in one volume. Must find more. Yea!
Congratulations to all the awesome staff who put on ConDFW. The neatest thing for me was that I asked JB if he'd enjoyed the Con, too, and he said he had. He said several nice things as I am sure you all know already, mainly that the Con was organized, on time, delivered what was promised, and took care of him and Shannon. Food at the hotel was mentioned as a definite plus. I find it hard to believe that people would bring out a guest speaker and then abandon him in a place without a restaurant or a driver for food, but as I say. . .not many cons recently. I'm planning to change that.
Now back to my previously scheduled Gale Force reading...Go Rachel Caine!
