I'll organize this year's Bouchercon 2015 posts thematically, beginning with out-of-panel conversations, mostly from the bars at the Marriott and Sheraton hotels. The interlocutors and their subjects included:

Michael Sears, one half
of the team that writes
as Michael Stanley |
1) Hillary Davidson on digestive syndromes and international travel
2) Her husband, Dan, on New York bagels and where to find them
3) My second-generation homie Alexandra Sokoloff on Jewish migration from everywhere
4) Sam Wiebe on books and authors, though I can't remember which ones
5) Wallace Stroby on Dashiell Hammett
6) Suzanne Solomon on Israel and writers named Roth
And thanks to Eryk Pruitt for staging an entertaining and atmospheric Noir at the Bar in Raleigh and for posting the following. And yes, I know that probably should be "bill" rather than "beak," but I don't edit the past:

Eryk is a good sort, and he was gracious enough to give me a shout-out for inventing Noir at the Bar and staging the first ones. So Detectives Beyond Borders likes him.

Noir at the Bar was exceptional, and I mean no disrespect to any previous incarnations. The entire weekend went above and beyond expectations. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series.
Yes, it was a fine Bouchercon, and a fine Noir at the Bar, too. I'm signed up for New Orleans already, but I'm warning you" I don't hang with ------s.
Sorry to have missed all this. So near and yet so far...
It occurred to me that you were just a flooded road or two away, and this was an especially good one, too. Next year is in New Orleans, which I suspect will be enjoyable as well. If you consider attending, I suggest you sign up early, because I suspect this one will be well subscribed.
Yes, it was a little maddening, but on the other hand I had a good time in Charleston and environs with my cousins so it was always going to be a spoiled for choice dilemma. I definitely have New Orleans in my sites.
And don't forget 2017 in Toronto, where you will learn what a good Montreal-style bagel is.
