Rene Walling, one of the leading lights of Con*Cept (my first con as a concom member) and also a member of the Tilley hat cult.
He's also my good buddy because he told me about the Torcon party where they were serving ice cream with walnuts and real maple syrup. Yum. . .
The insouciantly stylish Kevin Roche -- scientist AND costumer. It doesn't show up all that well in this picture, but the shirt is see-through mesh, and he has a flashing LED badge on his jacket. Lyndon needs to collar him at some point and retrieve his boot pattern.

I am now an official supporter of the Nippon in '07 bid, and I'll be voting for them sometime tomorrow. Fear me, for I am Big Red.
Or as Lyndon put it, "That's definitely a nip-something picture, dear." I can't help it if I'm stacked.
The Sheraton bar, where we retired for some liquid refreshment and a chance to banter with Laura Anne Gilman, Liz Williams (both of them shameless henchwenches to the Cardinal), Keith DiCandido and the lovely Esther herself.
