How could I have forgotten to list, as a 2010 WFC highlight, getting a temporary Halloween tattoo on the inside of my right wrist, from excellent writer and delightful person Nina Kiriki Hoffman? 
      It happened after the 2010 World Fantasy banquet and awards ceremony, while I was somewhat regretting my months-earlier decision to book a Sunday afternoon flight back to NYC. Eileen Gunn had got back to our shared room the night before and showed me her fabulous NKH tatoo, and I'd been consumed with envy, and regret that I hadn't been down at the bar at the right time to get one too. (Well, maybe "consumed" is going a bit far. But there was some definite envy. Oh, yes.)
     Then, right at the last minute, while the hotel people were clearing the banquet tables and everyone was wandering off, and I was bracing myself to get my luggage and check out of the Con hotel, Nina smiled her way up to our table and pulled out a little plastic bag of tattoos. I chose a craggy man-in-the-moon, and felt really quite cool for the next 24 hours. 
     And, just by the way, everyone should go out and buy a copy of Nina's lovely, subversive book Catalyst.
