7. I thought Grandmaster was the best clue.

None of them live in Portland, that I know of and definitely none in Canada.

Here's another clue: if you've ever seen her speak you know that she could nearly have a career in stand-up. She can be quite witty, and is absolutely wonderful at cons because she's so funny.

She always attends Mile Hi in Denver, and almost always goes to Bubonicon in Albuquerque. Likewise she almost always attends COSine, a very small con in Colorado Springs, and the Jack Willaimson Lectureship (actually I don't think she's missed one of those in many years) in Portales, NM, another very small and almost totally unknown s-f event. I discovered it about three years ago and have been twice. Love it. I live in Santa Fe, and it's still quite out of the way to get to, but it's giant fun.
