Tonight at 8:00pm in London, I’ll be hosting the Retro Hugos with Robert Shearman. There’s an opening number. A 12 piece band. Sound effects. And a dress based on one from 1939.
You can watch the entire thing streaming at http://www.ustream.tv/hugo-

Very cool, I’ll check it out.
Here’s hoping that it all goes perfectly!
Break a leg! This seems performance enough [How many hours in make-up and costuming? ;-)] to use the theatrical tradition.
Wish I was there to see the whole shebang!

Sigh- no stream yet.
I was in the auditorium tonight. It was a terrific ceremony and all involved did a terrific job. You and Rob did a great job.
The Retro Hugos were so much fun! Thank you for that, and for the terrific reading today. (And the fan came in handy during the Masquerade.)
