Gene Wolfe at Balticon

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I did that when Mr. Wolfe was at Readercon a few years ago. I asked him to sign a few books and then completely blanked, ears ringings, mouth dry. My wife confirmed I looked like a slack-jawed idiot.

Hopefully, I will do better this time around.
