Worldcon on News9 Denver

Looks like I got a little TV face time at Denvention last week. NBC affiliate News9 in Denver did a 2-1/2 minute feature segment about Worldcon arriving in their fair city. Brooke Thacker is the reporter for the piece, which surveys preparations for the show on the first day. I'm in the mix, right around the 2:16 mark, setting up my art show display. Needless to say, my attention wasn't completely on her and the camera. ;)

Other cameos: John Hertz and his propeller beanie got a lot of love. Look for a funny cameo by SCI FI editor Scott Edelman. Looks like the blonde, braided head of LOCUS' Amelia Beamer is in the background at the :59 mark (looks like her, anyway). FACT's Laura Domitz pops up at the :57 and :56 mark. And oh yeah -- News9 has apparently discovered a new way to spell my name -- "Piacacio" instead of "Picacio". Now I know how Paolo Baciagalupi feels....

This is actually the first time I've ever embedded video here on my blog. Let's see if this works. Oh yeah, one final FYI: beware the 10-second commercial before this segment, as it may have ear-splitting static, depending on which random commercial pops up. Onward....
