You people are hilarious, strange, but hilarious.

Also, was that an empty bottle of Patron strewn amongst the Pepsis on Shannon's desk? Awesome.

This whole thing was so incredible I don't know what else to say, but THANK YOU.

Today's guest blogger is Ted Cross!

The Conference looked amazing. I popped by now and then, but since I'm not a kids' lit writer, I didn't indulge in the whole thing. I hear it was spectacular though, so congrats on such a huge undertaking and for the success it was. :)
