Reno Report: Day Two
From Lani, giving you news you can use...
Hello, everybody! Reno has been a blast so far! I got to have lunch with our own faboo Alesia and the gorgeous Barbara Ferrer, who is also my roommate, when I first got here. As always, Alesia was wonderful, funny and lovely, and I haven't seen nearly enough of her at the conference, as you will tell by the pictures I'm posting today. But I will remedy that, I swear!
I've gotten a chance to meet up with a lot of old friends and make some new ones, so all is great. I'm a little too hungover (oh, come on, don't feign that surprise, we both know better) so I'm just going to let the pictures speak for themselves. And I will get one of Alesia up here very soon. And to Michelle - we miss you, baby!
This is what happens when you tell your girlfriends at the bar about the family tradition of subtly flipping the bird in pictures. Granted, they could work a little bit on the subtle, but God bless their hearts, I think this is a great start!
Me and the lovely and gracious Jennifer Crusie. We posed for this picture about five times, trying to coordinate our smiles with the flash, and some came out better than this one, but this is my favorite. Although you miss the tiara Ms. Jenny was wearing, you get the sense of what happens when writers start tipping 'em back. All good stuff.
Here I am, prepared to sign books at the Literacy Signing. Over 500 authors were there signing, and it was a blast. I sat between Patricia Rice and Christine Ridgway, both of whom were lovely sign-mates. And I was only two seats down from the adorable Eileen Rendahl! Bonus!
One of my favorite people on the planet, Risha Parker, came by to see me and I was so happy that I forced her wonderful husband to take our picture together. Isn't she adorable?
After the signing, at the Cherry party. This is the fabulous Robin La Fevers, Jennifer Stevenson, and me hanging and drinking and making merry. How cute are they? I have to say, I have the coolest friends anywhere.
Okay - more to come later. Thanks for stopping in!
