Welp, fun times are over, back to reality… sigh…
Four days of no internet, very little TV/news, decent food, and mainly hanging out.
Oh yeah…
And supporting other authors!
A bunch of us went down to San Antone to support Rob Hampson’s signing at B&N on Saturday, and Monalisa found that the B&N also had copies of Analog with her story, so a few of us got her to sign copies that we also bought.
Then we adjourned to a local restaurant and met up with a few more folks, ‘we’ sold a few books, ate, and had a good time (there were birthdays and cake).
Then it was back to the hotel, hanging out and just chatting into the night, then the same thing Sunday.
I got back yesterday, since I took a detour over to Austin to see some old friends, and then back to make a stop at Wenzel’s down in Hamilton for goodies…
It was great to see the folks that made it, and we really need to do that again!
Sounds like a good time was had by all.
Ed- It was!!!
I just had one of the most disturbing conversations (over the phone) with someone I’ve known for many years (though haven’t seen much in the last 8 or so). This guy is pretty smart, done a lot of high end programming jobs, several degrees all of that.
And I tell you, I just talked to the high priest of ‘AI’.
This was not a comfortable discussion. But not for the reasons he things. In this day and age I don’t think I want to put my summations out online either.
I’ve still got a very unsettling feeling about it, 2 hours later. Hence the vent…
Wow, sorry I missed you. I should read my blogs more regularly
Glad to hear you had a good time, and that you’re safely home again.
