Post-ConQuest Report

So ConQuesT invited Ursula out as Artist GoH, and as per our usual arrangement, I went along as her Sherpa[1]. We had some slight difficulty getting there – the flight into Kansas City, MO was scrubbed and we couldn’t get a flight until Saturday – but after that, it was a fun time for everyone (we hope). We got to meet some fans, made new friends, and saw some old ones as well. We had the famous Kansas City BBQ[2], and got an inadvertent tour of KC on our way to Breakfast Monday.

Thank you to everyone who came out and saw us, you guys were awesome. We had a great time, and if ConQuesT were closer, we’d be back next year. Y’all were fantastic, and we look forward to seeing a lot of you at WorldCon[3] later this year.

Next stop : AnthroCon 2012, and I’ll be taking the Hugo voter packet[4] along because we have a LOT of reading to do before WorldCon…

[1] We used to say “assistant” and “booth bitch” but it didn’t seem to properly convey the amount of heavy lifting involved.
[2] At the original Arthur Bryant’s BBQ – best of KC, I’m told, and almost as good as NC BBQ. And we know how I feel about that.
[3] We’re still amazed that we get to go to WorldCon this year, and Ursula is VERY honored for the Hugo Nomination. We still have trouble believing it – again, thank you all!
[4] If you are registered, go get yours and vote! This year’s packet is an INCREDIBLE value, and includes the complete run of Digger as a PDF. Just remember – if you get the packet, you have to vote!
