It’s alive! Alive!

I will spare everyone my sordid tale of woe, and cut to the end: I was able to get an adapter for my laptop. I don't have time at this moment to write any content, since I have one final obligation at the convention (I'm autographing copies of my book at 11), but afterwards, sometime this afternoon, I'm hoping to sit down and write more about what's been going on here. I will say now that I have met or bumped into a lot of people whose work I really respect (Greg Bear, David Brin, Bjo Trimble, Joe Haldeman) and a couple of actors who are just cool (Suzie Plakson, Peri Gilpin-- though not at the convention!). I'll blog about it after I take a nap-- I didn't get back to my room until after 3:00 a.m.!
