Top 10 Things I Learned at Bouchercon
O.k., I have so much to share with you all about Bouchercon. There aren't enough adjectives to describe the extent of amazing-ness. There WILL be other Bouchercon's for me, but this one will always hold a very special honor in my memories.
So, anyway, I'm going to start out with a quick little fun post before I load you down with all the fabulous details. Here are the top 10 things I learned at Bouchercon in Indianapolis:
10. It is still legal to smoke in a bar in Indianapolis. It was a little strange to see since it is not legal in Ohio to do so.
9. Reed Farrel Coleman is a very good dancer.
8. Steve Hockensmith knows his television commercials, but didn't know he was writing a western.
7. While I seem to be cold most all of my life, I was not so at Bouchercon and should have packed lighter clothes to avoid the embarrassing sweating! October in Indianapolis - who knew?
6. Brett Battles is a true gentleman. There are some left!
5. Sophie Littlefield will break my husband's knees (whoever my husband may turn out to be) if he's ever bad to me.
4. Michael Connelly discovered Robert Crais wasn't really reading his Harry Bosch books when they decided to have their characters cameo in each other's novels.
3. If Chris Grabenstein ever decides to stop writing (I'll break HIS knees - no, just kidding), he can pursue a career as an auctioneer.
2. Tom Schreck and Jason Pinter are both VERY tall - and yes, VERY handsome.
1. I absolutely LOVE being called a part of this family! :)

I absolutely did, Jen! It was fabulous!! I don't think I stopped smiling the entire weekend!!
Wow, sounds like a great time was had! Love that tidbit about RC and the Bosch novels. Looking forward to the rest of the reports on the 'B' weekend, Jen. Thanks.
Great picture of Chris, Jen! I'm glad you were there to see him win his Anthony.
Oh, and I swiped some of your information about Full Disclosure. That's my full disclosure. (grin) Thanks for the heads-up.
Funny about RC - why am I not surprised though?
Looks like you had a terrific time and I can't wait to read more.
I'll break his knees *and* bust out a few teeth, Jen. Let it be known. :) PS How fun was that gen-u-ine Hoosier bar???
Welcome back, Jen! Fun pics and tidbits. Looking forward to more. Specifically, I'm looking for answers to these questions:
1) Who was the funniest drunk?
2) How many phone numbers did you get?
3) Who looked best in tight jeans?
4) Did anyone smell like chocolate?
Thanks!
How does the scrapbook look now? Did you get a lot of those pages signed?
Lesa, take whatever you would like! I do not mind one iota. Chris is wonderful and I was so happy that he won. He was hysterical m.c'ing the auction, too. You HAVE to see that!
Sophie, that gen-u-ine Hoosier bar was fabulous! ;) I should have taken pictures there. So mad at myself for not getting any. Blasted!! You are wonderful! Thank you!!!
PCN, we have to talk on the QT, girl! ;) No phone #s, but I noticed jeans!! ;)
