Last night I had dinner at Planet Hollywood before the festivities with Gardner and Susan, Michael Swanwick, Gordon Van Gelder, Rick Bowes,and Ricky Kagan (who we picked up in the lobby since he was there early). The music was awful and loud, the food ok.
After going up and down several times trying to get to the fourth floor where the reception was all was well. Crowded, and weirdly enough I missed people I'd wanted to see but didn't--turns out that because my hair was up they didn't "see" me. (I don't know what my excuse was to have missed them). Met a few new people, introduced a few folks to each other, gossiped, drank, spilled most of a glass of red wine on poor Chris Lotts. Stayed till 11pm.
And for once, I did not take photos. I took out my camera, waved it around and realized that I had no interest in using it so put it away. You'll have to rely on others to see what we all looked like ;-)
