George R R Martin

I had planned on getting to Melbourne for Worldcon this year, primarily to see George R R Martin in person. Unfortunately life intervened and this didn't happen, but I did manage to see him today when he came to Galaxy Bookshop to do a signing.

My friends and I over-estimated the fervor of the fanbase in Sydney and turned up at Galaxy half an hour before it opened to claim our position at the front of the queue. A couple of hours later the other fans started to turn up. Sitting on the floor of a bookshop for four hours is not as awkward as you would imagine.
