Good day today, we went to several panels, the most entertaining of which was Patrick Rothfuss' reading. The man knows how to entertain an audience. Really so far I've noticed that the panels are more something to do in between finding people to talk to.
We went to a Kaffeeklatsch, where we talked to an editor at Tor, and got to know some other people who we went to dinner with. After dinner, we had pizza, we went and got ready to go to the Tor party. At first it was really packed, but we met up with Brad Torgeson who hooked us up with some guest stickers for the SFWA party. After hanging around there for a bit, we headed back down to the Tor party, where we kind of mingled with our own little group.
Up until Brandon Sanderson found us and told us to split up and go talk to people. I'm guessing that since we're the students of his that bothered to come to Worldcon, he's considering us as worth his time to help out. He pointed us in the direction of people to talk to, but we're starting to think that "Brandon's Students" is becoming a dirty word among the editors and agents, since they keep getting flooded by us.
Anyway, we talked to a few editors, even found some time to talk to Tom Doherty. Oh yes, during dinner L.E. Modesitt showed up and talked to us for a while. Turns out his wife got ill right after they landed in Reno, so she's in the hospital right now. She should be released soon, but keep a prayer in mind for her folks.
Kind of hard to summarize everything after such a long day, I'm not the best at these kind of journal entry blog posts.
