On the road again: Bouchercon, day 1
I arose this morning after 3.75 hours of sleep, worked, exercised, worked, packed, worked, showered, and then got in the car to head to Baltimore for Bouchercon 2008, Charmed to Death. The con starts tomorrow morning, but I like to arrive early and be settled before any convention's official start.
Most of the car time went to work, with Jennie doing almost all of the driving and me on the phone doing meetings and sales calls and some family stuff. I don't know whether she or I had the worse car trip.
The highlight of today was the wonderful dinner at Minibar at Cafe Atlantico. The meal displayed all of the good aspects of molecular gastronomy: reinterpretations of dishes you think you know, clever constructions, extremely tasty dishes with unusual combinations of ingredients, plenty of surprises, and playfulness. I enjoyed every small course, and I took a lot of pictures. If you'd like some food porn shots of the meal, let me know, and as time permits I'll post them. I recommend the place highly.
I have another hour or so of work, so I'm off to it.

Pictures of food are always good--and hey, see if you can't get some pictures of famous authors at the con and post them!!! There are bound to be one or two there, I would think!
If time permits, I'll do the first. If the opportunity presents itself, I'll do the second. I listened to Lee Child talk this morning, for example, but it was in a packed room and he was so far I didn't try to get a picture.
