Well, I'm back and I'm exhausted and I promise to tell the whole story and post pictures once I've recovered. Some highlights: my flight out to LA was delayed, so I spent 7 hours hanging out in Newark Airport--yes 7 hours. (Go American Airlines!!!) Meeting all the other winners and the instructors KD Wentworth and Tim Powers. Writing the 24 hour story. The awards ceremony. OK, I'm tired just talking about it. Going back to sleep now. Oh wait, I can't, I'm at work. Crap.
And congratulations again to Gold Award winner Stephen Kotowych. He's an exceptionally talented writer and a great guy, too, even if he does have a peculiar way of telling time and doesn't know how to pronounce his own name.

Hello Twin!
Wow, back at work all ready! I had a five hour drive from JFK to PA after my flight arrived after midnight, but I was then able to sleep till noon!
I read your story while on the plane. I now see why Jerry Pournelle liked it so much and why he didn't know how you would wrap it up. I loved the sad yet logical conclusion.
I also listened to your Hour of the Wolf interview. I never had the courage to ask what a script coordinator is, so I'm glad you explained it on the air.
That is so cool that Jim Freund was a slush reader for Galaxy Magazine. That was my favorite before it went under. If he was the reader up to the end, he actually rejected some of my first stories!
Hope you get the sleep you deserve.

Hey Twin!
Yup, back at work and still a little bleary-eyed. Good thing my job only requires a low level of consciousness.
Yeah, Jim is a really really interesting guy. I could definitely sit and listen to him talk for hours.
Glad you liked the story. :)
Welcome back! I saw some photos on the WotF blog and it looked like you were all having fun. I need to pick up a copy of the latest anthology so I can read your award-winning story!
Ko-to-wych? Koto-wych? Karamazov?
And what time is it anyway? I never figured out where the big hand was pointing... ;)
Great to meet you, Andrea. You're a fabulous talent. See you at World Fantasy!

Thanks, Eugene! Yeah, it was fun.
Stephen, we ALL know where the big hand was pointing.
