HAD A LOVELY EVENING IN CHATTANOOGA: LibertyCon is there this weekend, and while I didn’t make the Con, we drove down for the Baen Books party (it’s only about 90 minutes from Knoxville). Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle were there, as were Mike Williamson, Tim Zahn, Sarah Hoyt, John Ringo (pictured below with Helen), Les Johnson, and a host of others.

Plus, I was presented with a lovely certificate in recognition of my support for the Baen’s Bar crowd’s work to support the troops. But, really, it was the InstaPundit readers who chipped in who provided the real support. A good time was had by all. Now we’re home again. Maybe next year I’ll actually attend the Con!
