2007 Nebula Awards®

Presented at Omni Austin Hotel Downtown in Austin, Texas on April 26, 2008
The weekend was very lightly programmed, leaving attendees time to wander the streets of Austin. There were art galleries, museums, restaurants, and the capitol building to peruse, and many went to see the swarms of bats fly out from the bridge at sunset (which didn’t happen because of the wet weather). On Thursday the hospitality lounge, sporting a bar and very popular pool table, was open for early arrivals, as was registration. Friday evening was the nominee reception followed by a mass autographing sponsored by Book People, bringing in several tables worth of books. The 200 or so attendees encountered warm, muggy Texas weather and a few spectacular nighttime thunderstorms. More photos by Keith Stokes.
