Capricon

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 managed to barely make it to Capricon in time to meet Gene and Rosemary
Wolfe and have him sign *Pirate Freedom* and *Soldier of Sidon* (I decided
to bring only his two most recent books to sign).  I wasn't able to do
anything else at the con besides browse the vendors (which was interesting);
I was only able to drive up Sunday morning, arriving just minutes before his
signing session ended, and then returning the same night after a bit of
sightseeing in downtown Chicago.  I didn't get to talk to Wolfe much, and
I'm afraid I was a bit overawed anyway.  My friend took some pictures of
Gene while he was signing my books, and Rosemary made "rabbit ears" behind
his head.  I just want to thank Teri for posting the note about his
appearance at the con.  I never would have known about it otherwise,
especially considering his name isn't even listed anywhere on the website
for the convention.  Since Wolfe has virtually no web presence, I really
appreciate it when folks here on the list are able to share information
about his appearances, and I hope people will continue to do so.  I've still
got a lot of books without signatures.
