I didn't take many but think I got a few good shots.

I know I'm the female equivalent of the "johnny come lately" but I haven't been online since Saturday afternoon.
I had a ball at the Stoker weekend and not only because Nick and I won the anthology award for Haunted Legends along with Joe R. Lansdale's wonderful "The Folding Man" from the book). The panels were smart and fun, interviews with the guests of honor illuminating, and the weekend itself well-organized. Also, I was able to meet and/or hang out with Dacre Stoker, great grand-nephew of Bram Stoker, Joe Hill, Gary Wolfe, Peter and Susan Straub (Gary, Peter, and Susan and I had a delicious Italian meal at the Rialto restaurant), Scott Edelman, who after the Stokers drove me and Gary Frank to an ice cream parlor he discovered the night before. I partook and I should not have. Delicious but my eyes were most definitely bigger than my stomach. Caught up with Kelly Laymon, Doug Clegg, Lisa Morton, Vince Liaguno, Rocky Wood, and so many others. I enjoyed meeting some of the new faces, who are members or are thinking of joining. And I thank Stephen Graham Jones and Brad Carpenter for sharing a cab with me to Westbury station (and Stephen for lugging my garment bag up the stairs of the station).
