Kudos for ConQuesT

[gerisullivan]

I'm having a lovely time at ConQuesT despite the fact that I seem to now be allergic to every state except Massachusetts. I drove across the border into Connecticut on Wednesday and started sneezing. That followed me into New York, through Chicago, and all the way to Kansas City.

That hasn't stopped me from enjoying KC BBQ for dinner, lunch, and dinner. Yum. It hasn't stopped me from enjoying the convention, either. ConQuesT is full of friendly fans who are very approachable and easy to talk to. Some might think that had to do with the fact that I greeted people leaving opening ceremonies by saying, "Hi, I brought money to give away. Would you like some?"

But it's no different when I'm not handing out coins scooped up from my Time Travelers International Money Dish before I left home. It's good to see friends, to meet new ones, to lend a helping hand, and to just plain relax and enjoy myself.

I'm off to the George and Howard Power Hour now. George RR Martin and Howard Waldrop. Oh, my. No questions. Gotta see that.

Congratulations on the con enjoyment!

(You passed through Chicago, and didn't get in touch with us again? *Siiiiiiighhh*)

It was great at my last Boskone when I sat down and joined a conversation with Paul King about driving between Texas and Wyoming and drive-in theaters and eateries. It took a while, but I eventually deduced that Howard Waldrop was the guy Paul was talking to. I loved it. It was an area I was fairly well acquainted with, and I could contribute a bit, but Howard knew it all in detail in just the right way.

Hm. Was that the last really good conversation I had, apart from phone calls?
