Busy busy busy in a good way

It's been a busy day. I went to a swordfighting workshop. Alas, the audience did not get to wield any swords, but it was really cool anyway. Men in tall leather boots. . . This is a fashion that must come back. Now watch, the Renaissance fashion that comes back will end up being the codpiece. Just say no! Tall leather boots!! I got to meet the rest of the Crimson City authors. They're all really nice. It was fun. Met with my editor. He's nice too. I am sorry to report that with the exception of one pretty good cappucino (must have been an accident) the espresso here is -- shudder -- Everything else about the Reno Hilton is fab - except the smoke and slot machines. I have about an hour before I'm off to my agency's party. There'll be some nice people there, too. Have to be up early tomorrow so with luck I can make an early night of it.

OK, I have one complaint. In my room. the cable for internet access comes out of a piece of furniture constructed in such a way that if the laptop is near the cable, it is not possible to open said laptop. Uh, hello, facilities? What were they thinking? It is also not possible to reach the power outlet from there either. So I have to stretch the cord across the room to an outlet and -- well, my shoulders hurt now, so I'll just stop typing.
