thank you. i just explained to someone that authors did in fact announce where they were going on their websites. how pleasing to be proved right.

And in my 4 friggin' blogs too, of which this is but one. I don't know how my friends with kids and day jobs do it. But then my shoulder hurts and the day job is getting toxic. Sigh. So tired and cranky.
How was Demicon? Want to do dinner and/or art of Japan next week? We're looking at Thursday for the latter.

Your schedule looks packed!

Selfishly - I am actually considering traveling to Gaylaxicon this year. Your presence on panels, etc. is an extra special bonus reason for me to go. Yay! :-)

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Shucks. :-)
I, of course, think you should come to Gaylaxicon because it should be pretty fun all around. And it's in D.C. so there's lots to explore. It would be lovely to hang out so I hope you can make it.

Once upon a time I lived in DC - well, technically, Fairfax, VA. I haven't been back since 2002, so this would be fun on that level certainly.

I've never been a con-goer, but every year promise myself to go to at least one anyway. The reasons this one appeals to me are - the subject matter and promise of the program so far, first of all. That it's somewhere away from Seattle is great too, because if it's local to me I'm usually too busy with other things to make time and go. That it's in DC is cool because I know the place really well. But really? It's the program :-) (yourself included, now!)

I admit to being an unrepentant fan girl so I tend to really enjoy the cons. DC should be pretty hopping for this one, I think, so overall it should be worth the trip, my presence notwithstanding. :-)

And a meal with meeee at WisCon. Hopefully.


I'm also pondering Gaylaxion as well. Have you been before? Is it fun times?

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, yes! And hanging out too! :-D
I forget, do you know Connie Wilkins AKA Sacchi Green? She's our roomie at WisCon.
I went to Gaylaxicon in Atlanta last year and had a decent time. I think this one will be better. Rob Gates, who you probably know from WisCon is on the con com so it should be pretty good. And we'd love to hang out with you if you were to make it down

[sacchig.livejournal.com]

Yep, sparkymonster and I are indeed acquainted.

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Excellent! I'm all caught up now. :-D

[desayunoencama.livejournal.com]

And next year Gaylaxicon's local for you... :-)

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Yep, and barring unforeseen circumstances, I shall see you there. :-)
I'll be at D.C. too but guessing that you will not.
Congrats on the IPPY, BTW.

[desayunoencama.livejournal.com]

No can do on DC, I'm afraid, but def at Minneapolis, barring unforeseen. :-)
Thanks on IPPY.

Awesome.

Btw, if So Fey does win a Goldie, you have to accept the award for me.

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Hell, I'll go one step further. I'm planning on spending the weekend claiming to actually be Steve Berman. ;-D
