I can't say I'm surprised, though. Certain cons turn out to have a really special synergy, and a particular resonance in memory, and that was one of them for me. I had such a blast with you guys, and formed such lovely longtime friendships. That was even the convention where I got to judge a masquerade! It was with Buck and Juanita Coulson, and we may have taken the longest time of any judges ever. And then there was getting to meet and hang out with Michael Bishop (whose work I had just fallen head-over-heels in love with), getting autographing pointers from Wilson Tucker...so much of that con was just so memorable for me. And it's where I met you! And David! And saw David take his first-ever bite of grits! Good times, good times. :) :)
