Worldcon
I'm sitting in the airport, waiting with my daughter for the flight home after Worldcon. I had a good time, went to panels, was on other panels, watched the Masquerade with Lucy (my aforementioned daughter), and participated in a speculative poetry reading.
The highlight for me was attending other authors' readings. I was able to hear both Elizabeth Moon and David Brin, both of whom are authors I liked even before I moved to Pittsburgh (i.e. a long time ago). And I heard an excellent reading by Ken Liu, whose translation of The Three-Body Problem I had read, but whose own fiction I had not. Immediately after the reading, I ordered his fantasy novel, The Grace of Kings. And I thoroughly enjoyed readings by two authors I've only recently encountered (and whose work I've been enjoying), L. E. Modesitt and Scott Lynch.
