pre-convention visitors

[ellen_datlow]

An influx of visitors from Australia and the UK are starting to arrive in NYC in advance of the WFC in Saratoga. Last night I had dinner with Kaaron Warren and her family at Miracle Grill.
Kaaron describes her experience--we discussed "meat" at dinner--you can read her point of view

I too, had two delicious blood orange margharitas but mine were frozen. If I'd had another I would have staggered home and gotten even less work done than I did last night.

Jack Dann's coming to town for a few days but because both our schedules are so tight we're not going to be able to see each other before the convention (except at the Australian Embassy Party Tuesday evening).

Yup, so I was brought up totally unhealthily with the regular snacking on pretzel rods (don't know what you call them--those long salted pretzels? ), ice cream with whipped cream, and other lovely things. And I read every comic book that existed (but only while in his store).

Wow, you must have been the envy of every kid in school. I envy you the comic books. Did he have those horror story ones? Or mostly Archie and that kind of thing?

Archie, superheroes, Little Lulu, Tales from the Crypt....everything. I don't remember anyone ever noticing....but I was only 8 when we moved away from the Bronx and to Yonkers (he still worked there several years).

All the different kinds of literature. No wonder you're such a well-rounded person!
