We saw Scalzi at the SFWA booth, where he recognized me from my name-tag, which surprised me a bit. Why, yes, fellow UCFers, he is more goofy in person. But I mean that in a nice way - he's just cheerful and funny, and, well, goofy.
We also saw him at an afternoon reading, where he showed off his Journey MP3 player, and even passed it around to the audience with the tinny little speaker playing:
Mary Robinette Kowel shared her reading with him, and is really a gifted reader. In addition to reading from her own work, she read from The Sagan Diary, which she also recorded professionally.
All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable day. Tomorrow I plan on ambushing Matt Jarpe, who I've not met, but owe a beer. He keeps sending me free, autographed stuff - it's the least I can do.

You should see John when he's hyped on Coke Zero. Major goofy spaz (also in a good way). And Matt Jarpe is an excellent cool guy. Both are really fun to hang with.
