And Because A Picture Speaks Those Thousand Words…
… here are a few more photos from UnCONventional, the National Science Fiction Fantasy Convention & Sir Julius Vogel Award ceremony last weekend.
This time I thought I’d focus on shots of authors in the signing room & a couple more photos from the Sir Julius Vogel Awards.
Thanks for sharing, Helen!
Thanks for checking them out, Paul—thought you & others might like to see a slice of the SFF scene on the ‘far side of the world.’ 😉
Thanks for posting pics.
Someone, I can’t remember who, has a shot of me, Trudi Canavan and ??? at the award ceremony. I was the balding gent in ‘black tie’. Your camera by any chance? (Sometimes I have the memory retention of a goldfish)
Hi Dave–sorry, I don’t think it was my camera. You can check out Joff Horlor’s photos here, too, but I can’t see any ‘black ties’, alas.:-(
I know I enjoyed myself at UnConventional.
I think the pictures you posted up on the blog are a good reflection of the convention in general.
Thanks, June—it was nice to see you & Simon there. 🙂
Hi Helen!
Will steal that picture of me for my Facebook page!
The convention was brilliant. Thank you so much for your support and words of wisdom. Doing my first book reading was still scary, but having an idea of what to expect and how to prepare made all the difference.
I loved hearing your views on everything from promotion to the future of SpecFic. You have a passion and clarity that I found really inspiring.
I have put the word out to my friends that I’d like your books for my birthday (in a few days), but if that doesn’t turn out, I’ll head down to scorpio and get them myself!
Any chance I could get you to autograph them when they arrive?

Beulah, steal at will! In fact, I shall have a look and maybe send you a few more snaps that feature you.:) As for the little bit of advice re readings et al—it was entirely a pleasure. You handled your first outing like a pro and am sure you will ‘eat them up’ in future. I loved hearing a little bit of your book as well. As for my books, of course am happy to sign… Have been thinking that must be time for another local SpecFicNZ get together; shall have to talk to the ‘powers that be’ and see if we can’t make something happen. 🙂
