Horrifying discoveries

There I was innocently googling myself when what do I discover but me on youtube! Egads! There ought to be a law!

I had no idea I was being filmed. Judging from the quality and the length I’m thinking cellphone. Truly in real life I am not so pixillated, nor do I say “um” so frequently. I am also a lot taller.

The occasion was mine and Scott‘s reading for the New York Review of Science Fiction Reading Series in early September. I am blathering on about the Magic or Madness trilogy before proceding to read something completely different.

The two people to the centre and right of the screen are my favourite writing couple Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman. Their fronts are even more glamorous.

The mysterious cellphone wielders also shot footage of Scott that evening, but he won’t let me link to it. Hmmm, I wonder if you could find it if you went to the youtube site and searched on “Scott Westerfeld”? Sounds unlikely . . .

    I’d liked to think that I woulda noticed a camera . . . On the other hand I’m so nervous at those things that maybe I wouldn’t notice.

    I thought I recognized Delia–she has that gorgeous neck-to shoulder arc, quite graceful and distinctive.

    I recorded that! It’s my video! (It was my digital camera.)

    My friend Patrick and I went to that reading—we were two of the three people who left during Scott’s reading to catch our train. Patrick shot the video of Scott. I’m sorry—we should have asked beforehand. We’re just two stupid kids, so please forgive us.
