While I'm darning my socks and laying out my Sunday best, here are some photos from my five previous Bouchercons, courtesy of Anita Thompson, Ali Karim, and your humble blog keeper.

Stu Neville and I are cooking up plans for Long Beach. McFetridge is trying to rope in Burke. Could be a mighty session over there.
I hope you lot don't get any 8 a.m. panels. Because if I'm the moderator, I'll want you in the green room and sober by half past seven.
I'm sure you guys will have a blast this year, despite early morning wakeup calls.
And I hope you will join the boys in Long Beach.
I don't really have to be conscious and alert until 3 p.m. Thursday. And I don't think any panels have started before 9 since Baltimore. I remember this because one such hyper-early panel that I attended was surprisingly well attended.
The 7:30 meeting is for breakfast with a group that includes Ali Karim. People tend to stay wide awake in his presence.
Off topic, Peter, but wanted to drop in to thank you for recommending William McIlvanney - I just finished Laidlaw. Brilliance, in every sentence...
You got to snuggle up to a barefoot Christa Faust? That's on my bucket list.
(I just sent you an email, and forgot to identify myself as the Book Dirt proprietress, as if I'm so noteworthy you'll just know who I am. Anyway, it's me.)
Dave: Thanks for the note. I will pass your comment on to the friend who first recommended McIlvanney to me. I recently reread Laidlaw, and I concur in your judgment.
Kelly, I knew who you were when I read the e-mail, and i will try to remember to look for the item in question.
Christa was one of the first authors I met at my first convention, and therefore one of the first authors I ever met anywhere. Unfortunately she is not at this Bouchercon. A forensic scientist looking at the photo might she was snuggling up to me rather than the reverse, though.
