I met Connie WIllis
May. 19th, 2012 01:42 pmand she was NICE!
The SFWA is meeting in Crystal City, a hop, skip and Metro ride away. Friday evening they had a massive booksigning with many well-known authors. My friend Katherine and I both love Connie Willis' books so we decided to head over. We were first on line for her. She was very friendly, let us take pictures, and signed my book "Here's to the impossible."
( I am wearing my monster t-shirt )
And I've found my "only in DC" for any June visitors. Artomatic returned after three years. They've taken over a ten-story building for the month, with all kinds of art on display. There's performance art, wearable art, etc. It's nonjuried so it can be a bit of a mixed bag. Katherine and I looked at three floors before getting overwhelmed. It's maybe two short blocks from Crystal City Metro, so is easily accessible for visitors.
( Me eying some art )
All in all a really nice Friday evening!
