Dallas and other fun stuff

And no, this isn’t Dallas.

Recovering from Fencon (we were vendors their this last weekend), Doubletree near Galleria in Dallas. Getting there . . . I will never again drive the 635 loop. Never. Getting home, much better. Got instructions on how to drive from hotel to North Park and the streets we are used to taking.

The convention was interesting. We made a lot of new friends, and caught up with a few old friends as well. The view from our hotel room window was really interesting. It was like being in a futuristic dome looking out if we looked up, looking down showed us the dining room (and everyone in it.)

Roxanne and I sold my books (and bought art and books from our fellow vendors). My book The Goodall Mutiny was the one we sold most. (For those of you who don’t know, fen is the plural of fan in science fiction land, so selling my one science fiction book was a no-brainer). We also had A Resurrection of Starlings, Ill Met By Moonlight, Tiger Tiger Burning Bright, and others on our racks.

Just got the news that Lockhart’s one and only movie theatre is closing down. Right now. Very sorry to lose it. Spent a lot of nice times watching films with them. Even rented it to show our friends a private movie once. So sad they couldn’t make it.
