Photos from San Fransisco,
RWA National Conference, 2008

 

My mom came to SF with me and we stayed across the street from the conference hotel...at the Mosser. Very fun, funky, vintage place. (Oh wait. They called it Victorian.)

After we unloaded our luggage, we headed out to Chinatown. What better way to get there than to take a cable car?

Random shiny thing that got my attention while we waited for the cable car...very cool old buildings. This one houses the Gap.

Here's a narrow alley in Chinatown. I bought some chopsticks for my hubby in Chinatown...they have a sticker on them that says "Made in Japan."

The next day, we headed to Pier 39 for lunch and some quick shopping. This is Liz Kreger, Maya Banks (critique partner and Samhain, Berkley and Silhouette author) and me.

We ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. and this is the view from our table.

This is as close as we got to Alcatraz...not enough time to play before the conference started!

 

The queen herself, Nora Roberts, at the Literacy Signing.

The now-famous Superromance Readers' Tiara party. Kay Stockham
