Dear_Heart05 Cussler Convention Pics

One of these days it WILL be the 5 of us Kel !!!!!!!

Rubbish.

I concur with Andy, you all look fabulous. Especially that amazon woman in the middle.

Thanks Men for that boost of confidence!

Yeah, that's right....I'm not done yet.


Me and Paul Kempricos!
Good times Erica...good times.


LOOK! We had our own sign!


Fun story.....This is Wayne the Bartender. Me and him became buddies when I got trapped outside closed doors during the banquet........Okay, so maybe I wasn't really "trapped", I was just too scared to walk in by myself...in front of a hundred plus people....and have to cross the enitre room carrying a very unsteady tower of hardback books. If those weren't good enouph excuses, Stephen Coonts happened to be speaking. Anyway, 15 minutes later, and after Mr. Coonts was was done, I finally got up the nerve to walk in.........but not before I learned that Wayne the Bartender loved his job, didn't like computers much, and had no idea where Idaho was.

So when's your second date with Wayne?


Notice the painting in the first pic of the bathtub escape scene in Cyclops.

I hope so

Maritime artist, Richard DeRosset. Funny guy.


Stephen Coonts and his wife


I made Wayne stand by the poster that announced the location for next years convention.


I love this picture.


The book signing table.


The commotion during the book signing. You see all the books sitting on the table in the bottom of the picture? Yeah, those are all mine.

Wow!! Great pics, Heather!!! Thanks!!!!

Great pics. It seems that you all had a great time. It would be a dream come true if i ever could participate such a convention.

Anybody know how old Clive's granddaughter is? The one in the picture?

More???? Of course there's more!!!


Me getting my books signed.


Clive takes a second look at my Russian Inca Gold before signing it...then he shows it to Dirk. I said something...but I honestly have NO idea what it was..... maybe I don't want to know



Wayne presents Clive with a special jacket. I actually don't know much about the jacket presentation...at the time, I was stuck outside the stinkin sound-proof doors.


Mr. Coonts giving his speech. I'm glad my dad took pictures for me.


Me and my random pics...I think they capture the excitment. Everyone is standing in line for the book signing here.


My mom is such a little brat! I was scared to ask for a picture with Clive, so what'd she do? She went right up and got one with him herself. If it wasn't for Becca dragging me up to the man, I probably wouldn't have gotten one.


Hehehehe....thats all I can say.

Now I KNOW there are more pictures to be shown out there. Come on girls! You can run...but you can't hide. Like the pictures taken the night we were all bummin in the hotel room, or Thursday night at dinner.
BRING 'EM ON!!!
