Oh, poor Allyson, and poor Ruby (who I am sure will be okay).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh, Allyson, that ain't no proper greeting. Poor Ruby!
So how was the con?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jaysus, Allyson. They do not do right by you.
Speaking of Allyson, saw him at the movie theatre today. Flip flops.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The con was okay. I am not a good self-promoter, but will get better.
The Drive panel was interesting, and I missed Tim, terribly. He's just excellent at this sort of thing.
Nathan was asked to explain how Drive works. He asked for two volunteers. He said, "I have a friend who just wrote a book. His name is (Allyson forgets name because she was tired). Here's my plane boarding pass."
He ripped the pass in half, and handed each volunteer a half.
"The first person who gets their half of the pass to my friend will get a free autographed copy of the book."
One of the volunteers asked where he could find the guy, puzzled.
Nathan said, "Yes, see, that's Drive. You have to figure it out. Now I have to text my friend to let him know what's going on."

OMG, I may have just fallen a little bit in love with Nathan. That's too funny.

I dig Nathan.
Allyson, it's your first book, your first go round at all this stuff. Some self-promoters are born, and some people are startled to find it's suddenly required--the fact that it is is mega cool. By book five, you'll be a seasoned pro.
Saw Black Snake Moan tonight. I'm somewhat appalled that I recognised Justin Timberlake (I'd forgotten he was in the movie) by his cross tattoo on his shoulder.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
That story is so awesome. Did they actually leave with the halves?

Yes, of course. The race is on.
I found it to be a pretty good desciption of what happens in Drive, too.

Is that that Samuel Jackson/Christina Ricci movie? It looks kinda pulpy, kinda Flannery O'Connor. Was it any good?

I suppose it's not going to be too hard to find a guy whos got a new book out at a SF convention.
