Capclave Updates

[lagilman]

I am asked to inform those of you in the area who may have been waffling that, and I quote:

"Friday and Sunday memberships are $20, Saturday are $30. Or maybe Friday and Sunday are $25. Gets you into all programming, including workshops, plus the usual, plus whatever else we come up with. A Saturday membership gets you into all of that and the reception."

So you gots no excuse. ;-)

It seems that we will be sharing the hotel for part of the weekend with University of Maryland football players. I do hope none of them try to get jock-cute this weekend. I am in short supply of jock-cute tolerance...

Some changes in the schedule occuring -- I have been added to a YA panel Sunday at noon. Also, Saturday 9pm -- a 'clean up and dress right' reception co-sponsored by SFWA, at which I may or may not (depending on my mood) be wearing The Boots and Velvet (note to self: do laundry tonight).

And it sounds as though the Goob the Long and meerkat the short Road Show may be occuring after all. If you're coming down, keep a weather eye on the schedule and/or the bar.

and fkcu, I have to figure out what I'm reading....

where the hell did this week go?


also: note to self: when you work a 9 hour day, and the only thing in your stomach is some cheddar, a cibatta roll, and tea? Bad Things Happen. Don't do that again.

Except for parents in town and the closing weekend of MDRF.

So, do I get to show off my weedy roses and feed y'all?

considering the confusion of details conversation I just had with kradical, all I can say is -- let me get back to you on that. How far a drive from the hotel are you?

See you there...

"So you gots no excuse. ;-)"

*sigh* Tell that to my professor....

Have fun and don't break The Boots stomping the football players!

Depends on traffic - in theory, around 15-20 minutes, shorter in off traffic and longer in rush.

Similar thoughts are occupying my brain (well, not so much about the Boots & Velvet).

How do youdecide what to read? I'm waffling between short fiction that has recently appeared, an excerpt from an novel the agent hasn't sold yet, an excerpt from a novel in progress. And I'm feeling utterly clueless. How do youdecide?

[lagilman]

well, I've tried a poll in the past, but that was inconclusive. Mainly I just wait until the day and decide what I'm in the mood for of things that fit the available time.

I'm thinking I might read short fiction, this go-round. Unless I have a bunch of Retrievers fans in the audience ho'd prefer a teaser from Burning Bridges. And that's assuming I have anyone show up at all. Readings are tricky things, attendance-wise.

[lagilman]

oh, these boots are more of the "grind heel into instep" variety, not stomping....

[lagilman]

hrmmmm.....

[klingonguy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the tricky attendance part I know all too well. I try not to dwell on that.

Arrgh, and now I see my schedule has changed (again), and I'm supposed to be doing a panel during the fancy dress party. ooops.

Alas I will be about 120 miles away and underwater a good chunk of the weekend. :(

[lagilman]

Pity -- I just packed a bottle of the Good Stuff, too... Have fun getting in over your head! *grin*

Conference in the City on historical fiction and militaria. Three novelists and two historicals (with me wearing both hats).

I'm tired just thinking of it.

Have fun, you guys.

seeing as how I got dragged into a poker game that didn't break up until almost 3, and I was awake at 8, I think discretion may be the better part of driving surviva, alas... :-(
