• John Scalzi is even funnier in person, if you can imagine such a thing. He  is also extremely gracious and did not attempt to stuff me into a microwave or drop me down an elevator shaft, as SF authors are occasionally rumored to do to those they find annoying.
• Mary Robinette Kowal is not only an amazing writer, but she forever changed the way the audience members think about tortillas. And chess magazines.
• I was, in fact, the only one wearing suit. (Not on purpose. I had to drive over directly from a deposition in Oakland.)
• It is far, far better to park elsewhere and BART over than to try and find a parking space in the Mission.
• Steven K— got the best author book signature ever; how often does an author write “WTF?” in your book?
• The reading of “Alternate History Results” is up on YouTube.
