Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

Cindy, Deb, and Trudy, that's actually what I was kind of hoping someone would say--and Trudy, that would be great.

If Seattle is the city chosen, I firmly believe I'll be in a good position to work my event planner mojo when needed. It's just the next few months that are looking impossible.

Susan, I was planning on checking w/ Plei and seeing how much of the planning we could pull away from you. The only reason I hadn't spoken up is because I was trying to figure out if you needed it as a welcome distraction, or if it was going to overwhelm you.

Well, that and the fact that I am dreadful at event planning. But I can work around that.

Thanks, Jilli. The odd thing is, some kinds of work are a welcome distraction--my novel page count has soared in the past few days--but my logistics/detail energy has always had its limits, and right now what I have is 100% taken up by job search and the editor cancelation/replacement crisis for the October writers conference (a much more trivial but very time-consuming issue that came up after I volunteered).

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Jilli, this is probably going to sound weird - but if I can help at all from down here, give a yelp, okay?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Like I said, I'm happy to put on my producer hat and bug some hotels and the visitors bureau and fun things like that.

Actually, I already started.

Believe me, I will. Event planning SO not my strong point.

Thank you very much.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yeah, but if they can't see you in person, I don't think you're getting the full benefit of the producer hat.

Well, exactly. I mean, you could try just describing it over the phone, but "Would you like to know what I'm wearing?" may not be the most businesslike opener.

You're right. I should start with somthing coy like "do you rattle? if so, may I worship you?"
