Hi all.

Just a quick hello from the Wordcon, where Amouk and I
where lucky enough to meet Bill Higgins. I guess I also saw
a `Heinlein Nexus`tee-shirt, but didn`t react soon enough
to meet the heinleinian inside !

Not much Heinlein here nevertheless, in the programme at least,
even if we keep pounding at any occasion. Yet people seem
happy to discuss his work at the first occasion.

Cheers !

Eric

See if you can track down Geo and Deb Rule, who run the Heinlein Archive, and are two of the nicest people on the planet....they're there too.

Nice to know you're on the same continent, even if we have almost as much net planet between us! Have fun while you're there.

We haven't done any Nexus t-shirts, so I will be keenly interested in whether you see one again and who's inside it. I'd be just as pleased to see enterprising folks turning out their own versions as I was to see the Centennial shirt that Anouk made back in 2007!

I was very pleased to meet Eric and Anouk for the first time, and we got to spend some time together. They accompanied me to visit McGill University's impressive collection of apparatus used in Ernest Rutherford's experiments on radioactivity. Later in the con, we had dinner and talked about literature and language and Heinlein and physics.

I met Geo Rule and Jeff Orth in Montreal. And I saw a good bit of Keith Kato, who took a curtain call when I encountered him again waiting at an airport gate adjacent to mine.

Was a good Worldcon for me.
