From the World SF Con held in Melbourne over the weekend. Before that I did a ROR (critiuqing 3 books) and before that I did a week or more marking. Brain is a little fried, so this will be a short post.
First my Kaffeeklatsch was held first thing on Thursday morning. A big thank you to Michelle from Colorado who saw my (Please won’t someone come to my Kaffeeklatsch? I don’t want to be sitting at a table all alone – post on the Mad Genius Club blog). Also a big thank you to Elini from the Paranormal Romance girls who heeded my cry for help. We ended up having a great chat while I was waiting for the airport bus on the last day I was in Melbourne. And thank you to Kathryn from Galaxy Books who dropped by with her purple camera. We had a great chat about Buffy. I mean, there is so much to talk about with that show.
Then Sarah (who I will always think of as Callisto Shampoo because of her tag name) grabbed me and I sat in on her KaffeeKlatsch, met some lovely ladies. Satima is always a sharp eyed but sweet. And the two ladies from the US, Judith and her companion (sorry brain really is fried, can’t remember your name). We got onto the subject of women in SF and there was no stopping us. Rosie was also there but I can’t remember where.
So a big thank you to you all. Now I really must catch up with my emails. More later!
Hey Rowena, your Kaffeeklatsch was fantastic. I really thought it was wonderful. It was funny that I kept bumping into Kathryn during WorldCon and the day after at the Tim Burton exhibition!!
It was so lovely to catch up with you.
Elini,
Lots of people went to the Time Burton Exhibition. I don’t think it could have been better timed!
And thank you for turning up to the Kaffeeklatsch and coming to my rescue!
Oh no worries, I’m so glad I could make it. And yes it was a really good way to end off my WorldCon experience going to the exhibition. Was fantastic.
