Scenes from Saturday’s Nerd-Con
I am Drogon! And I am burdened with glorious purpose.
Stay here with Shai Hulud, Mickey Rourke, while I secure the perimeter.
All clear. Soon these seats will be crawling with humans.
Hearken to them. Sound the alarm, we are at NERDCON 3.

We had a blast at our Meet and Greet-Book Swap-Merienda last Saturday at the 7th floor events space of the WSI Corporate Center. We were so busy yakking with our guests, caffeinating, and making sure Drogon didn’t sneak off in someone’s bag that we didn’t have time to take pictures. If you were there, please email your photos to saffron.safin@gmail.com and we will post them later.

Thanks to WSI for our excellent venue and facilities. (They have spaces for seminars, parties, wedding receptions, family reunions, clandestine superhero conventions and so on. For rental inquiries, contact Bon Perez, (02)8585405.) Thanks to J.Co for the coffee and doughnuts, and to our readers for bringing their books to the Book Swap. Drogon would like to thank everyone who brought kibble and treats–he is now contemplating a career in cuteness-based extortion.
Get ready for a lot of photos of readers posing with Drogon.

That first picture is an illustrious example of physics at work. Drogon weighed about three thousand tons.

It was great. I got a copy of the third “Bridget Jones” book, and I’ll start with it later this week.
Whoever got the Trese books I brought, enjoy! I really love that series, and you guys should get the entire collection available – I believe up to five volumes as of now.
They also released “Tales from the Diabolical,” which I recently got and currently reading – it’s sort of a Trese spin-off, mostly prose with some illustrations, and is basically an anthology of stories. I’m done with the first few pages, and it is riveting.
PS Love Drogon: so well-behaved! Other cats would probably have given me scratches as I reached for them.
