Thanks for posting the link to that interview, JP. I had read it a while back, right after I read "Declare", which was the first Powers book I read. I had picked it up at the library, not knowing anything about it, had loved it, and was looking for more information about it, and stumbled on this interview. Then I couldn't find it again when I wanted to read it again.

This is the interview, in fact, which put me onto the trail of "Last Call", "Expiration Date", and "Earthquake Weather". I was intrigued by the idea of "Last Call" taking place in Las Vegas and the Tarot connection and all the rest. I've always been intrigued by Vegas, ever since I started going there when I was about fifteen or so. It had always struck me as being one of those places that is really "other", and I thought it sounded like a great place to set a fantasy novel like that.

Now, though, having read through the interview again, I really, really want to go to LosCon next month. Just today I checked their website to see what was going on this year. Lo and behold, Tim Powers is the Guest of Honor this year. I'd love to go and play fangirl and get some books signed and all. Don't know if I'll be able to, but I'm thinking of ways to work it out. We'll see, I suppose.
