Lovely to meet you, David!

You don't really want a Tiptree, do you? Or is it all about the tiara?

As a caveat, in winter in Madison one can go cross country skiing on the lakes.

Of course it's all about the tiara. Who doesn't want one now? I've never seen anything quite so regal as the coronation of a kneeling Matt Ruff at the hands of John Kessel's daughter. Tiaras are the new rocketships.

Dreaming of zeppelins,

I, personally, am undraggable. Except by the wife, as is required by law. So there's no need to apologize to me.

It was great to meet you as well, David. Thanks for sitting with us while we waited to board for our flight. I agree about the stimulating conversation; there are some smart damn people who go to WisCon.

Hoping you get a tiara someday.

Lovely to meet you, too, Sarah. What Ben said. (Also, it would make my mother so proud of me.)

Likewise, Jason.

Jon, if we can’t get you to WisCon with threats or bribes, there’s always chlorpromazine. :)

Great to meet you, David.

Oh, wait a minute. We've known each other since 1999.

Day-quil loopiness. Never mind.

Nice meeting you, too. Who are you again? Who am I again? Maybe I need to take some Day-Quil.

Yay Wiscon! It was so fun to have you there this year, Dave! You see what I mean? You see now! Yay Wiscon!

(I, too, am tired. Very, very tired. But sooooo happy.)

You made a couple pitches at various gatherings in Seattle, David. Trouble for me was lack of time and funds not willingness. Next year looks good though.

Add me to the "happy we met" crowd. I'm so glad you enjoyed Madison and WisCon, and I think you'd look very nice in a tiara. :-D

David, it was a pleasure meeting you. And I'm glad you got to meet some of the other Rabid Transit 3 contributors too.

I'm going through Wiscon withdrawal, but reading the con reports has been helpful for this affliction.

Yeah. After spending four days getting in and out of elevators taking me to fun people and fun places, it’s tough coming into the office, getting into the elevator, and realizing: “Damn. This elevator isn’t taking me to any fun at all.”

"...And it's taking me there a lot faster than the elevators that took me to the fun."

David! I'm so glad you were there. Getting to hang out with you was definitely one (or even two or three) of the bright spots of the con for me.

PS. Madison is pretty damn good in August.

Waah, I didn't get to go to WisCon. Where the hell were you people when I was in Madison about eight weeks ago? Wish we had met, maybe I'll get to do it (FINALLY) next year.

Yay WisCon! Great to see you.

I wasn't quite sure what chlorpromazine was, so I looked it up on the web (The Web Knows All!) and learned the following:

"Chlorpromazine is an aliphatic phenothiazine...."

Glad to have that cleared up. (The rest of the page did provide more useful info, though.)

You definitely should get a Tiptree. Here's my plan: you write a brilliant short story dealing with gender issues, then you submit it to us and we publish it, then you win the Tiptree and we bask in the reflected glory of your tiara. Whatcha think?

I learned about chlorpromazine from Monty Python — specifically, from a sketch in which John Cleese starts out as a TV reporter, and gradually turns into a pirate, ending with: “Argh! A tranquillizing dart fired by the cowardly BBC health department dogs . . . they’ve done filled me full of chlorpromazine damn!” It’s stuck with me ever since.

I like your plan.

You'll note, by the way, that Karen didn't say anything about whether you'd love Madison in February.

Hey David, add me to the list of "glad we mets" and also thanks for the great conversation at the World Fantasy Con party. I'm with Alan in being really happy you're part of the new chapbook too.
