And, by the by, I think I'm the only one of our group that can carry the schmooze-AND-booze banner. As evidenced in more than a couple of photos that clearly show a wine glass in my hand only. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it. ;-)

PCN, I cannot believe my luck finding such fabulous and fun people to call my friends! You said it best, ..the kind of people who make me want to be better. You, Jen, and lp13 were the main reason this weekend was an absolute joy. Thank you!

Hopefully, it won’t be another year to until we can get together again; like, maybe a trip to San Francisco in 6 months? 😉 I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

Hmm, STILL not hateful enough. You might even be heading towards nice. Whaaat??? Which stresses my point you’re actually a V aka Visitor, an alien who looks human, as seen on the TV show.

In case you’re not—thank you.

Someday, I hope to have a picture of you and me in the same hemisphere, hopefully riding scooters in Paris. I call sidecar!

It’s beautiful to see you, Christine and Jen together. Look at those smiles ~ talk about lighting up a room, this is more like a bonfire! A double whammy of a wonderful weekend {sorry, just a bit of Batman speak to start my day}, between meeting up together PLUS experiencing the festivities of the festival. Good for you!

Novelwhore---I've been ready for THE SENTRY since I finished the last word in THE FIRST RULE. Counting the days is only one thing I'm doing. You don't want to know the other. EIREGO---That's a hairpiece and I was airbrushed. Julie---Chi noi tieng Viet hay lam! Wish I could go to Columbus this week, too. Have fun and cause lots of trouble! See you in June. Jen---I made your personal BOOK OF AWESOME? That's awesome squared! Naomi---Majestic is the perfect word to describe Sophie. And what do you mean you can't work up more hatred for me? Where is the REAL Naomi? You're a V! le0pard13---It's possible for ANYONE to be cooler than I, but I'll take your compliment and run like hell before you take it back. Thank you!

The party really was a fantastic warm-up for the Festival of Book over the weekend. All of the authors there were so darn friendly and generous to those who sought them out. And for everybody reading this comment, Elyse is even more cool in person (if that's possible). And what she says of Jen and Christine is so true! Thanks, PCN.

You’re all so beautiful that I can’t even work up enough hatred to go around. Saw that photo of Sophie L. Isn’t she majestic!

Can’t even put into words how wonderful you are and how much this weekend meant to me. Thank you for making it a day in my Book of Awesome!

And EIREGO, PCN and Chris are beautiful down the marrow of their bones!
