A Whole Lot of Famous

walkitoutDespite being up kinda late the previous night, I got up and did Tai Chi on the terrace. It wasn’t Steven Barnes this time, but someone else. He did a really nice job, accommodating a person who had to be seated because of knee braces. Very calm, and my knees felt better after, so that’s a good sign.
I attended a Martha Wells panel (that Scalzi and Martin were on but Martin was really late and Scalzi roasted the heck out of him). Then I joined J., N., and B. at a SF addicts live podcast panel with Brandon Sanderson, Martin, Rebecca Roanhorse, Ryan Cahill (didn’t recognize) and Robin Hobb. Hobb’s classy, as is Cahill. Sanderson is sharp, polite and poised. Roanhorse is maybe not my kind of brilliant, but I’m glad she is thriving. And Martin is even worse in person, which was marginally surprising.
I had a very late lunch in the dealer room with Priestess and H. And a couple hours later I had a really excellent dinner at the Carlile Room with I. I. and I went driving at the Mayflower Park Hotel / Olivers after and 10/10 on that — will absolutely try to do that again whenever I’m in Seattle next.
