I got to talk with Charlie Anders after the Seattle reading i went to and she said she's at WisCon every year, tho' this was Annalee's 1st WisCon. Maybe we could have a "i'm such a geek" support group over drinks some night at next year's con. ;)
Hee! I felt so cool talking with Charlie after the reading! I'm never the cool kid talking with authors after a reading -- it's always hard enough for me to just go up to an author and ask them to autograph my book (i completely FAILED to get Suzette Haden Elgin's autograph at WisCon '06). But it just seemed so *obvious* that i'd be able to relate to these women. So we chatted and she invited me to the after-reading drinks in the pub downstairs, and it was a shame i couldn't go (Spousal Unit leaving on his week-long business trip to Japan the next day -- i just wanted to get home), because I FELT SO COOL.
