I did not meet the Locus crew and had no idea they were taking pics of us until someone contacted me in email to confirm IDs for everyone in the shot. I met a lot of cool people but came away terribly crushy over Maureen, Kij, Ellen, and Delia since they have such sexy brains. (Oh yeah, and we had an awesome conversation with Russell Davis who is a very cool guy.) I've heard that people don't always look as photogenic in Locus pics as we all four do in that one, so that's an additional coolness point. I've never not felt part of the community or like I don't have every right to be there, so I can't say I had the same reaction on seeing the picture. On the other hand, I go look at it a lot because we all look so happy and smart and sexy.
