And all I got was. . .

on:I couldn’t make it to World Steam Expo this year, but some good friends of mine, N & R, did.
N & R got to spend some time with these lovely folks,
Oh, those folks? They’re only Phil & Kaja Foglio, the creators of some of my favorite steampunk graphic novels and this gem of a novel as well.
My friends went to World Steam Expo, and all I got was . . . .
Some autographed postcards!!!!
Behold the awesomeness!
and yes, I totally had a nerdgasm when I opened the envelope!
I gotta go buy me some of those floating picture frame thingys. . . .

Cool! I have a scrapbook that sits in my nerd cave that has several autographs, mostly from SF tv show stars that I met at various conventions. On a few occasions I have called upon friends to do me the same kind of favor because I couldn’t attend. I have a signed picture by Anne Francis that a friend got for me and another took my hardback copy of Neverwhere, many years back and a large sized edition of the Vess illustrated Stardust and had Gaiman and Vess sign them for me. It was very cool of him to do that. I have since been able to meet Gaiman myself and get stuff signed.

I’m so thrilled for you! I would have been pretty psyched by opening that envelope as well. I especially love the Tom Kidd cover of the novel. It is great to have friends who will let you enjoy their con experiences vicariously by getting you cool swag.
