Having a fan girl moment....

So, when you chair Bouchercon there are a lot of moments like this....






...and this....





Because you know that, sooner than you think, people will arrive in San Francisco, and be ready for a good time, and will rightfully expect that you've arranged panels, and festive parties, and fun events, and oh, lordy. In my nightmares, it looks something like this.....





(Hat tip to Jen Jordan and one of my very favorite blogs for the alpacas and the - I don't know what they are. Lemurs?)


In my calmer moments, I know Bouchercon will be more like this - well, not exactly like this, but it'll certainly be tons o'fun, and I love this clip ;-)






And then there are days like today.....






...when everything is fabulous, the sky is blue, flowers are blooming, and life is beautiful.

The reason today is better than my usual Friday is....I'm just so darned excited about the authors who are coming to Bouchercon. Check out our attendees page . I'll bet at least one of your very favorite writers is on the list.

Fan girl moment? Oh, yeah!


Have a great weekend, everyone - here's some Dire Straits to get it started....
