The con... well, there have been problems. Major meltdown at the party hotel last night resulted in the hotel management at the Delta descending on the SFWA suite and throwing most of the world's leading SF and fantasy authors out of their hotel for... wait for it now... talking too loudly. A few of us refused to leave and continued the party in whispers. Here's to Connie Willis, James Patrick Kelly, John Kessel, and the rest of the small company of Those Who Would Not Be Expelled.
Lots of bad juju at the Delta, which does not seem to have realized that being the party hotel entailed crowded rooms and noise. Hours-long wait for the elevator to the party floor, the 28th. Yes, elevator, singular. They have a whole bank of elevators, but fans were only allowed to use one, the rest being reserved for "real guests." (The words are the Delta's).
The BWB party is in the Delta tonight, 28th floor. Here's hoping we don't see the same problems.
If Dany has been cast, it is news to me.
Lovely wake for Charlie Brown in the Intercontinental. It doesn't seem like worldcon without him. If there is an afterlife, I bet he's found the best party by now.

*wonders if Delta realizes exactly how much money they're flushing down the toilet by mistreating SF&F fans that way*
Everyone was very well behaved and not at all noisy. I was sitting right outside our party room, handing out flag stickers and I could barely hear any loud conversations or music.
Thank you for coming by to our party :)
Good luck with the party of this night.
On second thought... Have you posted this at 12 AM? Here it's 2 AM... really late.
Greetings from Spain!
Jesus H. tap-dancing Christ.
And I thought Canadians were a hell of a lot more laid back than that. That's just beyond rediculous!
Best wishes with HBO green-lighting the series-I'll be looking forward to seeing what they do with the great storylines.

I see an anthology in the works...
The Delta 28th: Tales of Darkness, Intrigue, and Dour Hotel Management
(At least to me, since I just wanted to get back to my room.)
*sighs* I hope the BWB party does go better. :)
