In Boston...
Feb. 18th, 2005 11:27 pmSpecifically, at Boskone, and having odd flashbacks to this summer's WorldCon, which was (partially) held in the same venue.
This happens when I'm at Philcon, too -- I keep having flashbacks to the MilPhil WorldCon and thinking people who aren't present, should be.
Well, damn it, people who aren't here should be. Why aren't you?
And now, fortified with single malt and mexican food, I go off to look at the revision letter, which finally arrived this afternoon.
Oh. And was handed my "MaltCon 05" badge when I arrived, and was amused to discover that I was the model for this year's visual. Or, more specifically, my hand was, caught in the act of holding a glass of Damn Fine Malt at Philcon.
Once more makes it a fannish tradition...

Date: 2005-02-19 04:20 pm (UTC)Because a certain Stubborn Old Dead Guy ruined that con for me permanently. Take it up with HIM.*grin*
Besides, think of it this way: people who aren't there means there's more Damn Fine Malt for those who *are* there, right?
Have fun!

Still, really sorry I missed maltcon '05, or at least the start of it!

Everyone else recognized it as your hand, too... :-)

Think Lunacon, where all I've heard so far indicates single malt will be needed badly.
Haven't decided whether to change the image each con. Depends on what else I can find and what sort of inspiration strikes.

Lunacon. You will be at Lunacon. Meanwhile, I'll email you a jpeg of the card.
