  1. There was lots of applause coming from the room where the awards were being given, while I was running the sound board for the panel in the room next door on “Who Owns SF?” (at which puppies were mentioned briefly).

  2. In the photo: front row, seated, Readercon GoH Nicola Griffith and squatting next to her Readercon GoH Gary K. Wolfe.

  3. I was really impressed by Daryl Gregory’s We Are All Completely Fine, and have been thrilled to see it on so many short lists. So happy to see it win! Also happy about the Annihilation win; there’s two of the things I nominated for the Hugos getting the luvs elsewhere.

  4. Annihilation (or Area X) mostly likely would have been my top Hugo vote this year if it were on the ballot; I’ve been very glad to see it getting award love in other places.
