This is the view from the Sundial Restaurant at the top of the Westin where my Kensington editor Audrey LaFehr treated a group of us to an unbelievable dinner. Believe me when I say this is a whole lot higher than my hotel room at the Hilton. Not only is it way up there, it spins. The view was spectacular from the 72nd floor, especially with lightning flashing after dark, and the food was amazing.

	Jessica made time for each one of her clients over the course of the conference, but I managed to snag her for dinner Saturday night, which was a lot of fun...and more food! We met her associate Kim Lionetti at the RITA awards, then Jessica and Kim went on to snag seats at the bar so we could have an "end of conference" party and get-together. It was a lot of fun to meet her other clients--and of course, eat and drink WAY too much more. Thank goodness Lycra is popular, or nothing would have fit by Saturday night!

	No, these three aren't Jessica's clients, but they do make a nice Rogues's Gallery to end out the evening. Angela Knight and her critique partner, Diane Whiteside (no wonder they're both so good!) with AK's husband, Mike. It was really a terrific conference and I would love to hear from anyone who can give me names. In many cases, I "think" I remember, but would rather not have anything posted than have it wrong.
