I would prefer if they would drop some categories all together, but it sounds like the committee is going to add a YA category. Alas. <br /><br />Ideally, I would have like it if the convention had broadcast the ceremony over the hotel channel, so I could have sat in the comfort of my own room, take-out in hand, remote in the other, and not have worried a nip about the elevator crush afterwards. <br /><br />Being unable to do the above, I settled for reading on my tablet which made the whole thing tolerable.

Just post a list of winners and mail out the trophies. That would be nice and fast, wouldn't it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113940425314025068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001434439078518468.post-45137177816568927372012-09-14T09:46:54.142-04:002012-09-14T09:46:54.142-04:00"...to take in 3 Whole Foods, 2 Costcos, and ..."...to take in 3 Whole Foods, 2 Costcos, and a Cubs game ..."<br /><br />That reminded me so much of 2010 when you attended the DFW Writers' Conference in Dallas, and we spent three days driving all over the metroplex to visit Whole Foods, Borders, B&N, Books-a-Million, etc. <br /><br />You certainly like to do "non-tourist" stuff when traveling.<br /><br />A group of my crit buddies and I plan to attend Worldcon 2013 in San Antonio. I hope I can attend the Hugo awards just for the experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711771420603067433noreply@blogger.com
