[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 1114425, member: 527"] I saw him a couple of days ago at the Toronto Convention, he hasn't changed at all. He gave the funniest speech I've seen while presenting the Hugo for Best Novel; talking about how he had won 4 "little" Hugos for his various short fiction, but he'd never won the "big one". A tiny excerpt sounded something like this: "So when I moved to Idaho, Joe Haldeman lived not too far away and we used to hang out together every now and then. Joe, of course, had one the 'big one' for [i]Forever War[/i]. Not that I am counting. Anyway, I noticed that even there in the middle of the barren MidWest, Joe was surrounded by adoring women while I had nothing. 'Joe, I've won 4 Hugos and you've only won one. Why are you getting all the ladies?' 'Because I have -*deep voice into the microphone*- the Big One.'" As for [i]A Feast of Crows[/i], Martin started his Guest of Honor interview by saying "It will be ready when it's ready." Before anyone could ask him the question. ;-) [/QUOTE]
