OK STORY TIME gather round kids to hear the tale of me and Jensen at autos
So I made this Radio Company art poster, which I’m stupid proud of. Also I brought a six pack of Spotted Cow (local beer from my home state of Wisconsin) because Jensen the brewery owner deserves to know what a good Wisconsin local brew tastes like. (I was lugging that beer around in my backpack all fucking day like a pack mule)
So I get up to the front of the line and give the poster to his handler. She slides it across the table to him and he stops to take a long look at it. Then starts smiling. “This is really cool!” he said.
“Thanks!” I said. “I made it.”
“You did?” Then he pulled out his phone. “Can I take a picture of this?”
“Well,” I said, “I have a copy of it, if you’d like.”
Jensen blinked and went “Oh! Well. That’s even better!” He took the copy and gave it to his handler.
“I also have beer,” I said, and set the six pack on the table. “If you want that.”
And Jensen just got this gleeful glint in his eye. “Oh, no,” he said, totally deadpan, while pulling it towards himself, “I couldn’t possibly accept beer. No, no, I hate that stuff.”
My favorite part was when the handler asked me, “do you want him to just take one bottle?”
I just laughed and said “no you can have the whole thing if you want. Share it with whoever.”
So they seemed excited about that. Jensen asked where it was from and I explained it’s a local place in Wisconsin (New Glarus Brewing Company for those interested.)
I said that I’m not a big beer person, to which he responded “yeah I’m not either” 😆 Such a liar.
Anyway that’s my Jensen auto story and I gotta say, even though I’m not a big beer drinker, I’d absolutely sit down and have one with that guy.
Edit: Link to another (far less G rated) con story involving Misha and a necktie 😳
I just told my ENGL 1120 students why I’m traveling to Chicago this week (Worldcon, being a panelist, repping Strange Horizons at the Hugo Awards because I’ve been one of the poetry editors there for a decade), which led to a student asking what SH is and what the Hugos are. I told them exactly how many years we’ve been finalists and how we have never yet won, and one of my students blurted, “Oh! You’re the Leo DiCaprio in your category!” RUDE, but also? I feel so seen 🤣
Awkward prom picture with Ruth and Rob, family photos with Rob and misha, amazing hugs from Kim and Bri, and saying hi to a friend that couldn’t be with us with Jensens help…all in all it was an unbelievable weekend and first con experience ♥️ not to mention I got to share it with some pretty phenomenal friends! @rmcmisha2022
