I’ve been too busy this week to share how my Nebula Awards weekend went—I’d barely recovered from the redeye home when Geoff Landis and Mary Turzillo dropped by to spend the night on their way to Balticon—so these seven pics will have to stand in for a full report.

At the San Jose Airport Thursday with Cynthia Felice, who sat immediately in front of me on the flight from Denver. And as it turned out, Robin Wayne Baily sat in front of her!

Still high from an amazing Thursday night meal at Manresa (about which I’ll try to share more later), Jenn Reese, Jaym Gates and I were snapped by fellow co-conspirator Barry Goldblatt,

In the hospitality suite Friday, Nalo Hopkinson and I spent several hours discussing food, food, music, food, and food. Oh, and also food.

Someone brought a copy of the first comic book I ever wrote to Friday night’s mass autographing session!

I first met Samuel R. Delany—seen here before the Saturday banquet at which he was named SFWA’s newest Grand Master—at a LunaCon in 1972.

The Big Wow! ComicFest was going on at the convention center next door to where the Nebula Awards weekend took place, so I snuck over Sunday and reconnected with Mike Zeck, who drew the Thanos solo story I’d written which had appeared in a Logan’s Run comic in 1977. We hadn’t seen each other in 30+ years.

Once the official weekend activities ended Sunday night, I had dinner with my 1979 Clarion classmate Gene O’Neill and his wife Kay.

To see all my photos from the weekend—which I hope my pics have convinced you was a heck of a lot of fun—check out Flickr.
