Back From WHC...

Actually, I came back from the World Horror Convention a week ago, but I'm only now getting to blog about it. And this blog is going to be Day One, where not much happened....

DAY ONE: WEDNESDAY

My wife (in her "Lynne Hansen" persona) and I somehow managed to get a direct flight from Tampa to Salt Lake City...and it was on time. Weird. The wonderful Darleen Dineen picked us up at the airport and drove us to the hotel, where our roommate Mike Myers was waiting in the lobby to help us carry our book-laden luggage to the room.

The hotel heavily promoted the fact that it had Sleep Number beds, but quite honestly they're just glorified air mattresses and not all that comfortable. However, Mike and I spent way too much time racing to get our respective beds down to "0" (which is quite a challenge) and then back up to 100. Mike won both races and was very, very pleased with himself. I bow before his superior skills in inflating and deflating the Sleep Number bed.

That's about it for Wednesday. In the meantime, here's an article from a Salt Lake City newspaper (The Daily Herald) about the World Horror Convention, where I'm quoted a couple of times:
