Me too! Maybe, for those of us that are planning to attend Worldcon, we can get together prior to that to discuss possibilities for creating an MR "presence" at the con. (Something for you other attendees to think about, too.)

We'll show you ours if you show us yours.

No, wait. That didn't come out right.

No, wait. Yes it did!

Anyway, until that's worked out, I understand a Steve Jordan dartboard is in the works...

I think we decided that public photos of the group were not a good idea, in case anyone is on the lamb.
(sorry, I've just always wanted to use one of those icons!)

The natural way is to have a party. For example special groups like Scandinavians, Baens Bar, and so on usually have parties.

Speaking for myself, I don't mind. (I leave those lambs alone! ) But it's up to the group, and there are waivers to process, not to mention all the signs, license plates, T-shirt logos and beer labels to blur-out...

Here are three shots I took of Steve. Remember that I'm only 6' 5" tall.

The first is Steve, the second is a close-up of his MobileRead designer shirt, and the third is Steve taking his own photo for the dust jacket of his next ebook.

Hmm... might want to check out one of those Scandinavian parties...

But seriously, that's a great idea. And maybe, when we have everyone in the same room, we can provide something that promotes e-books... like (and this came up at the meet-up) beaming free texts to anyone with a PDA or cellphone. Or (more likely) giving out a card or something with a web link to free e-books (some site like, I dunno, say, Mobileread).

What other kinds of cool MR party favors could we use? (Besides the thongs... those are a given!)

Daig, Wood! (Heh, Dagwood! Heh...) What did I tell you about using that convex lens? I look like Andre the Giant! Guys, I swear, I only weight 220!

Don't you mean "on the llama?" C'mon over to the Lounge and play, don't be shy. We use lots of emoticons and exclamation points there!

Awww Sweetie, you look adorable. Lots of us prefer a nice big playground to a 6-pack, you know.

Eep! First time I've heard that one. Now I know what to say to people who tell me to lose weight!

If I write any fat (err... gravity-enabled) characters into my next books, can I use that?
