catherineldfIt's been a lively couple of weeks and a whole lot going. I/we made it to the end of the 9 or so events in a row, with only one weekend off and it was a LOT. Twin Cities Con alone was 3 12 hour days at the Convention Center, which would not have been possible without help from our authors Michael Merriam and Jennie Goloboy, my assistant Alexa and my intern, Annie. The cosplay was great, the event had definite moments and we did some fine networking...but we did not make our table costs back, let alone the costs for paying people, stocking the table, etc. and it was a pretty spendy event. So no Twin Cities Con for us next year unless we win the lottery or something.
My DreamHaven reading, on the other hand, was pleasant and went well. It was nice to see folks. And my Springboard for the Arts class was hopping. So a good month on the event front, if a very tiring one. And the steroid shot does seem to be helping my hip, albeit very slowly.
And there's more coming, of course. I am grieving the loss of my Twitter community and platform and information, but scrambling to keep things in motion for the press. I did join Mastodon, along with other platforms. More on this and other topics soon, as it is now bedtime.
