A week or two ago, John Scalzi mentioned the Centennial once again on his blog, the Whatever, and re- posted the picture of his wife at the Gala dinner, noting that she had dyed her hair "Heinlein Heroine Red" in honor of the event. |

In looking up that picture, I also found a link () to several pages of photos that sum the event fairly well. I didn't see myself in any of them, but they caught Bill at the buffet.  One of my only regrets from the HC was that I hadn't read Scalzi's stuff before it. I stumbled upon his site after googling the event to see who was posting about it. |

Scalzi was GoH this year at our annual convention. KC committees have some pretty decent taste in guests. |

I LOVE his books! I reread them a lot. Just finished his latest _ Zoe's Tale _ which was good but not as good as Old Man's War and The Last Colony. But he is definitely in the "Worth standing in line to read so much as a grocery list written by" person.... Come to think of Heinlein is also on that list. At least to me. There is not always 100% agreement on literary isseus around my house. |

Scalzi is also the only guy I know to have pulled off an extended fart joke as the major theme of the opening of a book. ("Android's Dream"). It is hysterical. |
