RWA was tiring. Too many people, too much information. The RITA awards were totally gonzo; the President did them without consulting anybody else, so they were a video montage of disasters from 1980 to the present, the idea being that romance novels were an escape from the cruel world.
You get some idea when I tell you that (A) the video montage included scenes of Tienanmen Square set to "Don't worry, be happy" and (B) up until Friday night, the video montage included scenes from both September 11th and the Challenger explosion.
Nora Roberts walked rather than read the script assigned to the toastmaster.
15,000 points gets you a hat. That's the biggest prize. A hat.
Man, they should at least offer a walk-on for the sequel or dinner with a cast member or something. A hat you could buy.

Will the president be asked to step down?
