Neil Gaiman continues to impersonate a rock star and to rack up awards for American Gods.	Catherine Mintz, Katherine MacLean, Harry Harrison. Katherine MacLean is going to the Honduras to teach English, and asked for a suitable certificate from the awards committee to show that she's qualified. Moral: be careful what you ask for.
Not all the honored guests and award winners could show up, though I'm sure they all would have liked to. The part of Ursula K. LeGuin was played by Eileen Gunn, and by a profusion of volunteers in the audience.	Though Peter Jackson could not attend for his part in Lord of the Rings, his video persona appeared in his stead. Often, and not always on cue, but with grace and gratitude (Catherine Mintz accepted the award).
Sharon Lee and Steve Miller	SFRevu's Victoria McManus and Ann Tonsor Zeddies
Locus Editor Charles Brown was pleased to announce the creation of a Museum of Science Fiction (with Microsoft Money behind it) and himself (among others) on the board. Huzzah!	Shane Tourtellotte - SFWA's mild mannered reporter.
Philip Klaus (William Tenn), in the company of Catherines: L: C. Mintz, R: C. Asaro	Joe Haldeman, looking rakish for the camera, Susan Allison, looking demure.
Ellen Datlow, just having fun.	Harry Harrison discovers that he's not only the toastmaster, he's supposed to pick up the bar tab.
