SCBWI Summer Conference: Fantastic...

I'm back in the Nati, the humid humid Nati, and still coming down from the from the fantastic SCBWI Summer Conference in LA. If you weren't there I hope you followed the event on our equally fantastic Official SCBWI Conference Blog.

I'd like to thank the super-extra-fantastic members of SCBWI TEAM BLOG--Jamie Temairik, Jolie Stekly, Lee Wind, Paula Yoo, and Suzanne Young--for their hard work and dedication to covering the conference.

Here we are at our first SCBWI TEAM BLOG meeting.


TEAM BLOG's posts, photos and video were terrific (not to mention fast and furious) and I think we offered a good taste of the conference and shared some useful information for those who weren't there as well as for attendees who could only attend one session at a time. (We could attend 6, and a few times we attended 9 or 10.) If you haven't visited the Conference Blog, click here to check it out.

And below are a few more of my photos from the Blue Moon Ball on Saturday night. (I posted some on the conference blog after the event.) There were drink tickets. There were quesadillas. There was dancing. And, of course, there were outfits.


This year they're blue butterflies;
la
st year they were literary lady bugs.


This conference-goer's cow stopped jumping
over
the moon to pose for a picture.


These Royals fans were happy about the party theme.


This conference-goer got wiggy with it and
enjoyed the Mexican food buffet.



Jay Asher is without mermaids but still ready to
disco as he poses with Linda Sue Park.



I'm not sure if she's a superhero or a cheerleader who mistook
her pom-pom for head gear.
Either way I like this outfit.
