I...I...holy cats, people, IT'S A BOOK.

Rosemary and Rue was just reviewed by Publishers Weekly.

To quote (just a little, although wow do I wanna quote a lot more), "Well researched, sharply told, highly atmospheric and as brutal as any pulp detective tale, this promising start to a new urban fantasy series is sure to appeal to fans of Jim Butcher or Kim Harrison."

There is absolutely no way this football is being yanked away from me.

Holy cats.

I wouldn't do Dragon on a bet; it's almost as big and far more nuts than ComicCon and it's far too *scattered*. Much better at a fan-run con, at least *I* think.

You clearly only hear about Dragon*Con from outside.

Either that or you've got a severe dislike of crowds, in which case, sorry for ya; our planet is crowded.

Dragon does awesome things for Atlanta's economy. The con and congoers both in the main work to keep everything manageable, and the tracks mean whatever fandom you dig is all in one place.

It's not nuts if you plan, pace yourself, and choose your panels wisely. Google docs and a PDA make it simple.

The Dragon staff are some of the most devoted fans, and the majority of them are unpaid, doing it for other fans and the sheer joy of being at DragonCon.

I meet and get to socialize with people at Dragon that I couldn't otherwise, as they are from all over the multiverse planet.

I've known Seanan for a decade and honestly I'd prefer a week to cook for her, introduce her to the East Coast awesome blonde, and whirl her through Lush, Dave & Busters and Cafe Intermezzo. But failing that, I will be better than thrilled if she makes Dragon*Con.

So I guess it's a good thing neither Seanan nor I have a bet with you, and we'll see her there in 2011.

Cafe Intermezzo. You have spoken some of the words that unlock my heart. <3

(Er, hi! We apparently live near one another! We should talk!)

Indeed! Let us speak.

I shall start.

Hi there!
