Report From The BSFA Meeting

[coalescent]

That was fun. Some highlights:

- Dan (above centre) heckling the audience as much as the audience heckled him.

- The cheerfulness with which Liz (above right) called Dan a wronghead.

- Andrew: "Complaining Accelerando is about people who are still a bit like us is like complaining that post-nuclear-holocaust stories aren't about piles of dust."

- Martin (above left)'s opinion of the shortlist: there's always a lower place.

- Dan and Abigail discussing Jane Austen (Graham: "Ginger, get the popcorn.")

- General agreement on the brilliance of Air.

- The many many books I came home with, including the beautiful Polder.

Can we do it again sometime?

He said "It would be like expecting a story about nuclear winter to be about ASH."

Could have been that! I remember nuclear winter and ash.

And sausages, but that was earlier.

Though there's never really a wrong time for sausages.

I knew it wouldn't just be me who'd notice that.

Always happy to oblige.
