Now I need to buy some physical Scalzi to collect an autograph!

In the middle of reading. Absolutely love that you mention Maquoketa, IA!!!!! I'm not from Maquoketa, but am from Iowa. ;0)

Great, now I may have to attend. Look what you made me do.

will this talk cover lawn care and the pros and cons of 2-stroke engines?

Hide the tortillas!

I'll bet there are at least a few burrito food trucks that would love Mr. Scalzi's patronage.

Good of you to warn them. 😉

As problems go, that doesn't sound like a bad one to have.

I'd like to visit Portland one day, mainly to see if it lives up to its reputation of being weird.

If you need advice on my hometown, I'm here.
One free - you'll be in the convention center, and both the light rail and streetcar have lines adjacent to you.
Take the Max across the river, get off by Skidmore Fountain, walk 2 blocks west to 2nd & Ankeny.
Eat at Dan and Louis Oyster Bar.

Make sure you visit Powell’s while in town. We also have great restaurants!

Why do villians always monolog their plans!

Just recently read "and more" and quite liked it.

I had fun shelving the short story anthology you edited today- I volunteer in a middle school library ❤️

Discovering science fiction in (back then, we called it) junior high made me into a lifelong reader and professional (technical) writer. Good on ya. 🙂

I bet some fans in Maine are giving you side-eye right now.

Hey it's my city!!

...I don't do cons anymore though.

Maybe I'll make an exception. I got my friend hooked on your books so he may want to go as well!
