Shore Leave 2014 - Friday



Well, I'm here at Shore Leave and it's been an interesting evening. As soon as I got here, there was no mistake that I was in the right place...

As we were walking down the hall, we looked into one of the conference rooms and saw Michael Welch of Twilight fame getting a birthday cake. He blew out the candles, but he didn't tell us what his wish was.

Next up was a talk by Richard Picardo (Stargate, China Beach) on his various roles. He told a number of interesting and humorous stories, and answered questions on them from the audience. He's quite an interesting fellow.

There were a lot of writers, of course, selling and signing books. Much of it was related to Star Trek or Stargate, but fantasy titles were well represented.

I startled Michael Jan Friedman (Star Trek novels and fantasy) taking his picture as he was signing a book. He smiled afterward. I guess he's used to this sort of thing.

And just when we thought the night was over, there was Robert Picardo singing karaoke in the bar...

We talked briefly in the hall afterward as he was leaving for the night. He's a funny and interesting man.

Now I must get some rest myself, for tomorrow I get to do this all over again!
