Things I Learned at Penned Con – 2015 Edition

July 27, 2015 By Eric R. Asher Leave a Comment

If someone is pointing a camera at you, they’re probably going to use it for something …

Tish Thawer is even cooler than you think.

Sarah J Pepper can unintentionally cut out your heart and make funny squishy noises with it all at the same time.

Stacey Rourke, Level Two. You are awesome, and one day this joke will stop, BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY! 😉

Sometimes temporary tattoos last a bit longer than expected. *cough* Kristina *cough*

Giant Worribles get lots of charity raffle tickets. Squishables.com, we love you!

Italia and my new family over at Gandolfo Helin & Fountain are even more fantastic in person.

I have the greatest fans. You know who you are. Thank you for coming, and huge thanks for those of you that came from out of town! It wouldn’t be the same without you.

When you ask a group of authors to bring you bourbon, one of them is probably going to bring you bourbon. Thank you Beth Isaacs!

You might start talking on a panel before you realize one of your co panelists is also an Urban Fantasy author. Then you will SQUEE inappropriately in front of many people. Then you will cry and hug these people who were strangers a year ago, and your friends today.

Amy Bartol’s narrator may just be my new favorite narrator (aside from William Dufris of course. 😉

Even mediocre toasted ravioli is still ambrosia after enough bourbon.

Hugging Pittman after two years chatting online was epically good.

Rick and Amy Miles know how to put together a damn good convention.

Caesar! JD Nelson, AnnaLisa, Samantha, Jettie, Stacey … I’m leaving a ton of amazing folks out here, but what I’m saying is this:

I miss you all already. Can’t wait to meet again!
