I'm the guy with the beard on the right hand side of the group picture. Never been a shy one...
It was a wonderful evening! Verencat is a delightful person, even if a bit camera shy.
Yvan is even more amusing in person than on line. Tompe is full of information about Worldcons and the world of fandom. I didn't write down the names of the other attendees, but they were fun to be with. I especially appreciated hearing tales from the Far East and what's being cooked up over there as far as book readers go...
