   Favorite Seanan McGuire story: The year she was chair   
   of BayCon, she happened into the filk room just as   
   Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff was starting "The Night Kaga   
   Brought the Lutefisk Down."   
      
   She collapsed over a chair, completely incapacitated   
   with laughter.  Like, to the point of turning blue.   
      
   She'd fallen on her radio, and we could hear "Seanan?   
   Seanan?  Are you all right?"
