World Fantasy has now started (though opening ceremonies are not for another hour). My office here is vast, and the Internet connection is good. Kevin has been out putting up signs to Registration because we sited it at the top of the escalators and anyone using the elevators will find themselves on the wrong side of the hotel and having to walk to the opposite side of a large square, around the outside. We were strongly tempted to put signs pointing both ways from the elevators.

Most of the tweetage has been about the size of the freebie book bag. Well, this is World Fantasy, a large book bag is expected. I weighed mine. It is 13 lbs. Members who complain about the weight will be reminded that someone had to get the books here and do bag stuffing (that’s a Hero of the Convention Medal for you, Rina!)

Blue Meanies have been sighted in the Dealers’ Room.

I’ve just seen Kevin tweeting which means he has managed to get the in-room Internet (free to President’s Club members) working. That means we should be fine for the live coverage of the Last Drink Bird Head Awards tonight. Hope to see you there.
