Today? Crap.

Only ones I've read are the Bujold book and the Sawyer book. Bujold book GOOD, Sawyer book EVIL.

I'm sure some of the others are worthy as well, but I didn't realize voting had to be done today...

Darn. I'd like to give the others a fair shake, but...assuming I can get my PIN, I'll vote Bujold. Simmons book have heard good things though.

Haven't read any of the other categories. Don't like Gordon Van Gelder for editor. The rest are cool people...

Movie: I'd have to go for Finding Nemo!

TV: the 2 Firefly ones weren't aired at all...didn't see them, but I liked a lot about that show, except episode 3 (aired). Smallville ep wasn't that great...

Oh. For Retro Hugo I'd probably go with Fahrenheit 451. Caves of Steel is great, and MIssion of Gravity is good, and I did not like Childhood's End, and I've actually not read More than Human.

Not sure on Novella. For Novelette probably Dick. Short Story...the Clarke story is definitely famous, but I don't remember what it's about.

Anyway, my flight details:

Arrive (Delta) BOS 9:37 AM Sept 2
Depart (Delta) BOS 3:30 PM Sept 7

I'm routing through Cincinnati airport. (Which, by the way, is in Kentucky by about half an hour.)

did the first Earthsea book even HAVE a girl in it?

I think I read the next couple books after that, but not the more recent award-winning book...

I also think an extension to the 7th would be good. Do you have a flight already, Brandon?

ah, sorry, I haven't actually checked this section of this forum before. I only came here accidentally this time ;)

yeah at TW there is a Web Community forum for shameless plugs. Feel free to drop by anytime you think it would be useful.

I'm guessing a former roommate or relative of another TLE person. I tried many times to convince my younger sisters to go to TLE, but neither one of them are in Utah at the moment.

If someone Fished me and was just having fun and not trying to pick up on me, I would be insulted.

it's quite an exaggeration. By far the biggest space-taker was booths of people selling comic books. There WAS a large anime presence, but the Lord of the Rings booth and the Star Wars booth added together probably covered more ground than all the anime booths added together except maybe a couple of them.

The comic book shop booths were generally small, but there were zillions of them.

Oof. That's some heavyweight company you're in.

You're MODERATING the Sunday panel?

Dang. Um..........................you still have room in that hotel? If I registered in the next 2 days I could still go. Looks like flights are only $300, and I'm actually making money now... Exactly what days do you have the hotel for? For arrival/departure times, etc...     >_>

Wasn't your thesis on WoK anyway? Yet he wants to use Elantris? (I almost typed Atlantis, there...)

hm...I filled orders at the bishop's storehouse here for a few hours. It was fun. Not something I think would remain fun for very long, though.

it would be kinda hard for it to be used as a textbook before it gets published...
