My Not-a-Worldcon-Recap Post
Apparently, I won’t be getting to my planned Worldcon recap any time soon, so suffice it to say I had fun, got to meet some cool people, catch up with ones I already knew, and got to pick up two Hugos (one for Gordon and one for Ted Chiang). One of the highlights was meeting in the flesh for the first time my pal Jeremy Tolbert–we’ve been online friends for about seven years now and only now met in person. Ain’t the 21st century grand?
I spotted a couple of photos of me online. Here’s me looking like a missionary. I don’t normally wear glasses, but I was having a lot of problems with my contacts while in Denver.
Here’s me again, with the same exact expression, but now standing next to a pretty girl (Ace/Roc editor Jessica Wade).
Here’s a better photo of me, since I was not posing.

2:52 pm Aug-21-2008I was sitting in the audience when you accepted for Gordon, and somebody near me in the audience whispered to a friend, “So THAT’S what Gordon Van Gelder looks like? Gee, he looks different in his photos!”
(To be fair, the accepting-for announcements were often drowned out by the applause.)
