Tachyon Party at Borderlands

I'm going to be at Borderlands Books in SF for the annual Tachyon Publications party on Sunday from 2-4. One of the events at the party is the awarding of the Emperor Norton Awards. As Locus magazine explains:

The Emperor Norton Awards are a San Francisco Bay area specific award given each year for "extraordinary invention and creativity unhindered by the constraints of paltry reason". The award is named after and commemorates the memory of Joshua Norton I, Emperor of the United States of America and Protector of Mexico, and are presented annually by Tachyon Publications and Borderlands Bookstore in San Francisco.
