Mark Hamil! Alf! And otherrrrrrs!
I always wanted to know who the others were. I also think we should have bi-monthly science fiction conventions.
If you’ve been living in a cave (and kudos to you for getting a wi-fi connection in your cave!), then you might not realize the New York Comic Con is today. Having just gotten back from setting up the Spectra booth yesterday, I am very, very aware that it is today.
I don’t think it’s a good sign that I’m already tired.
Regardless, the plan is for everyone who comes to our booth—and, I’ll deign to mention that a large portion of the Random House family will also be in the general vicinity, so I should say aisle—is going to come away with at least a smile, and quite possibly a little something extra. Between authors signing free copies of their books, assorted swag and other sundry items, and even some contests, I have a feeling we’re going to be one of the more happening areas in Javits Center.*
As this is the “before,” post, I can maintain that optimism to a high degree. Hopefully the “during” post will continue in a similar fashion, and even more hopefully, the “after” will feature the writing of someone who is still able to think in coherent English and type with any sort of skill.
So please, cave-dwellers and those who have ascribed to The Republic, stop on by: the whole lot of us (including the fine people from Suvudu) will be in the 1900 aisle, booths 1940 and 1941. Say hello—chances are, I’ll be there pretty much all day, every day.
Alas, I don’t think either Mr. Hamill nor Alf will be there (they might; you never know). Oddly, I’m not exactly sure whose absence I’m more disappointed about: no Luke Skywalker, or no cat-eating alien muppet. I’ll throw that open to the public to decide. Think of it as a Choose David’s Emotions.
All right, enough whimsy. See you there!

**Note note: I find it amazing that spell-check has let the following words go: “shindiggery,” “awesomocity,” and “fantabulousness.” Please contact your local lexicographer to make sure your next dictionary is up-to-date.
