Dragon*Con so far has been its usual amazing combination of controlled chaos, with tons of people everywhere, fans decked out in hall costumes that are better than what you see in most masquerade competitions, and a steady flow of enthusiastic fans.
This evening I MC’d the Dragon*Con Awards ceremony in which the organizers present special plaques to the designated guests of honor. A surprise to me, however, was the winner of the Julie Award, an award conceived of by Dragon*Con some years back in honor of Julie Schwartz. It’s given for achievement in a variety of media, and past winners have included Harlan, Neil Gaiman and Joss Whedon. This year–and I suspect it’s why Con organizer Pat Henry wanted me as MC–I was the recipient of the award. I couldn’t be more pleased, although it serves to remind me of just how much I miss him.
