Up too early (this will be a theme), had a lovely breakfast with Karen Haber, hooked up with Sean W afterwards, then to the Dealers Room (which underwhelmed). Had lunch with David Hartwell, before doing a panel on the best SF of the year which went quite well. Coffee with Graham Sleight, Gary and Charles, before back to the Dealers Room where I bumped into Ted Kosmatka at the SFWA table (who was lovely). Chatted with Amelia, Teddy and the gang, before off to dinner. There were sixteen of us having fondue and it was good. A four hour long dinner that was just right. We joked about wild rumours we could unleash, ate, drank and then headed back to the hotel for a nightcap. A quite day, compared to what’s to come.
