It's a beautiful day here in Anaheim, but I'm spend this part of the gorgeous afternoon inside, trying to type on these chiclet keys and to upload some photos from my wife's digital camera. Ah, well, who ever said that blogging was all skittles and beer?

I haven't yet stuck my head into a panel yet, but so far I have:

• found my badge and other goodies (late yesterday)
• had dinner (last night) with a bunch of folks I mostly hadn't met before
• inquired politely at Program Ops about being on the program (not that I'm expecting anything; the program looks pretty full already)
• wandered the dealer's room to talk with some small press people (like Sean Wallace of Prime Books), check out new books, and buy a couple of things
• ran into several people (Michael Walsh of Old Earth Books, John Douglas and Ginjer Buchanan, Karen Haber) in passing
• and had a great lunch with anthologist/editor Jonathan Strahan, where we spent a long time sharing World Fantasy-judging stories and somewhat less time discussing things that are more like work

And, as I'm typing this, I'm also uploading some photos I took along the way. Watch that space: more photos should be added as I go along. (Though I might have to open another flickr account as "sfbc_photos2" soon, since it looks like I'll run out of upload space for this month soon.) There probably on't be a "Day Two" post for tomorrow, as I'm planning on playing hookey and going to Disneyland. (My boss is in London on vacation, so I get to have a little fun myself, right?)

I do hope my con-blogging doesn't stay this dull; I'll try to do more interesting things in the days to come...
