fireun brought a camera to WFC and documented some (but fortunately not all) of the hijinks that occurred. I think my favorites are the panel photos-- Manic!Patricia is manic, while Serious!Joshua looks every inch the professor.

It's hard to believe they're not actually siblings. Scott Lynch and Elizabeth Bear at WFC 2010.

When we weren't at the convention hotel, we were at bars, which perhaps explains why Joshua and April are smiling.

First of many trips to brewpubs that we managed to fit in around the panels, readings, meetings and other distractions of WFC 2010.

Even when we're in the audience we can't behave (S.C. Butler, Patricia Bray, Avery Shade and Benjamin Tate).
That was Gordon Biersch, and I'm trying the sampler, then later had a pint of the Märzen. My favorite brewpub was Barley's, where everyone became addicted to the sauerkraut balls.
Just thought you should know my kitten somehow managed to bookmark this page by walking on my keyboard. Clearly, he knows what's what, and like a good writer's cat, is reminding me of writerly things I should aspire to, like autograph sessions and beer.

Which brewpub was that?

Date: 2010-11-03 12:57 pm (UTC)I hear that WFC will be in Toronto again in a couple of years. So I thought I should point out that Toronto has a lot of really good beer...
