An absolutely fantastic day! We started with the SFWA business meeting, wherein the results of the election were announced. I was not unanimously acclaimed for Director-at-Large, though there were 292 (I think) aye votes. There were also nays and write-ins. Of course, I’m now Vice President, but the overwhelming positive vote was nice. When it was my turn to speak, I thanked those who voted for me as Direvtor, then paused and said, “Surprise!”
The highlight of my day, though, had to be sitting down to talk to Jane Yolen about her time as SFWA President!
The Nebula banquet and Awards were fun, too.
Each table had a lovely robot centerpiece created by Don Jones.
Sadly, most of my photos of the actual ceremony are blurry and not worth sharing.
There were a number of alternate universe acceptance speeches after the awards by nominees who did not win.
And I got my picture taken with Jane Yolen, who said, “You make me feel tall!”
And after I got up to my room, I wrote 115 words and this post, and now I am going to sleep!
