it’s nearing 10pm again. and i want to read!
so i’m too lazy to link tonight to all the fabulous
people (and one martian) shown below.
i’m pretty sure this alien was much enamored
of chun li–but we had a language barrier. haha!
actually, he was very popular and took fotos with
many people!
one of the highlights of the night was when i was
dancing and someone tapped me on the shoulder. and
there was angela in her shimmering octopus costume
(which she made and won first place for–just like last year!)
wanting to introduce herself to me. it was very funny
and surreal and sweet.
the lovely edna [the sleeping giant] is also in foto!
i finally got a signed copy of savvy. am so excited
to read it. i saw ingrid at the ala chicago newbery banquet
and she is just the nicest, sweetest person you could meet.
she also gave a wonderful speech at scbwi–her metaphorical
journey to publication as a story.
this foto cracks me up. because jay [thirteen reasons why]
always dresses up and also because someone stuck their
star in the foreground of the foto.
m lo [ash] was my roommate at the conference.
we had a lot of fun! i know she was a bit leery that
i would turn out to be a weirdo. and well, i was. but
she still thinks i’m fantastic. =D ASH is a terrific read.
malinda’s prose and storytelling is simply amazing.
her huntress in ash is hot!
my rsb posse, only three of us made it back this
year. =| i got some opps to hang out with jacqui
[two of a kind] but not so much with jill. wah! cause
jill is a rockstar.
not at the blue moon ball but at the author signing.
suzanne [the naughty list] blogged and tweeted about
the conference the entire time. it’s always fun and a
delight to see her around the conference.
eta : i’m chuckling as i look over these fotos as i had
my chun li pose down and look like a transportable cut
out. haha!

Miss you already!
Jay Asher is a hoot!
You are like living the life of a rock star now. :)
One could totally get the wrong idea you practically spent the WHOLE WEEKEND in that costume! :)
How many days until the next dance party?? 362??
So Jealous!!! You know my daughter is a big Ingrid Law fan! Ingrid was so sweet and sent Oldest a signed poster which Oldest promptly hung up over her desk in her bedroom … next to the picture of Zach Efron.
That looks like a ton of fun!!! *sighs with affectionate jealousy*
Cindy,
I miss you.
xo
L.K.
lisa, i love your alien! i miss you and all the super duper writing people. but i’m still a little shattered!!
i miss blake!! =DD
Sounds like you had a blast! Just started reading Savvy – I love it :)
I found your site through a link on Verla’s blueboards, and I have to say your novel looks great. (I’m a sucker for Asian history/fantasy.) And your cover is beautiful; you must’ve been jazzed when you first saw it.
Also, your book trailer is awesome–I watched it twice. I’ve been looking at samples in the hopes that my agent, Jessica Regel, will soon sell my novel, which is currently in the submission process. (You know how that goes, right?)
Good luck, and I look forward to reading your book!
Kate
GOOD LUCK on sub!!
please keep me posted! and i’ll
give you trailer info when you sell (just
email or comment =) !! if you do pick
up my debut–i hope you enjoy it!
