[direct from the iPad: a drawing by Raeli of Alisa at the TPP dealer's table]
memorable moment: Mondy staring at Aifin after about 10 minutes intense conversation about iPad sleeves and suddenly announcing, “Hang on, are you THE PRODUCER?”
many other memorable moments: Alex, expecting to be completely anonymous at this con, being faced by various people saying “are you ALEX FROM MELBOURNE?”
drink of the convention: the purple daiquiris at the Voyager 15 party.
frocks of the convention: Alex, Alisa & Terri at the Hugos.
book of the convention: THE LITTLE PINK ONE.
You can find a video here of Tony C Smith’s live broadcast of his reaction to the Hugo awards. About 40 mins in, he finds out he won the Best Fanzine for Starship Sofa and explodes with joy. It’s also a nice little visual of what it’s like to be following award ceremonies (as I usually am) via the internet.
