Besides what's a convention / conference without liquid refreshment.<BR/><BR/>Jo, I agree vis-a-vis Jeff Lindsay, he's a helluva decent guy, very funny, and generous. I was lucky to drink with him after the banquet and have some funny anecdotes which will be in parts III and IV.<BR/><BR/>I have to pass my thanks to Editor Jeff for his tireless work at Rap Sheet. He has to be one of the hardest working editors in the genre.<BR/><BR/>AliAli Karimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640079406581573368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-52330307312816105112008-06-19T09:17:00.000-07:002008-06-19T09:17:00.000-07:00Entertaining reportage from the conference, Ali.

Good stuff, this.<BR/><BR/>My favorite part is where you said: Fuck it!<BR/><BR/>Are you sure you're not me?<BR/><BR/>Nice to see my Southwest Florida homeboy, Jeff Lindsay, out and about. I met him here 10+ years ago when he was a midlister about to be dropped by his publisher. A sad reality that far too many writers face, but Jeff had a plan to change it up and reinvent himself as a writer, thus the DEXTER success. <BR/><BR/>So many writers give up in the face of adversity. Jeff is an example of how to overcome the hard times.Josephine Damianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17952030380866201241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-72608497781150705012008-06-18T17:40:00.000-07:002008-06-18T17:40:00.000-07:00It's like I was there, except I wasn't :-( -- mayb...It's like I was there, except I wasn't :-( <BR/>-- maybe next year ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-18812722698309192502008-06-18T14:28:00.000-07:002008-06-18T14:28:00.000-07:00Was it you who rang up a drinks bill for my room, ...Was it you who rang up a drinks bill for my room, then?
