I had a wonderful, exhausting time at Readercon culminating with the Shirley Jackson awards at which all the winning stories were published by me. Scary but very satisfying.

The best part were the nominee "gifts" everyone was given: a large stone with "Shirley Jackson Awards 2007" printed on it. I will cherish it and promise not to throw it at those who don't like the anthology.

Lucky you mentioned the Lucite stand because I also found the flapper's cap--did you see her without it? She looks really weird-much more normal with it.

I'll try different batteries in the other--it's definitely got strange parts :-)--interesting enough to cannibalize.

And yes, the button is MY kind of button!!!
For anyone interested it says:
