Modesitt, Jr. how much I love his books; hearing Carol Berg read; being a last-minute addition to the late night poetry-slam panel; getting to meet people I’d only known via email, including Charlie Finlay, Adrian Simmons and Jenny Blackford; witnessing Gordon van Gelder’s troasting (half-toasting, half-roasting).
