Speaking of unfunny, Im going to Wondercon to wander around and try to impress upon people that they should buy my book. I am to be given postcards heralding the arrival of my geniusness.
I expect to be terrible at this.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Isn't Tim going to be there pimping Drive? Isn't that in my neighborhood?

tis. I think this is the first time I'll have seen Tim in yonks.
I miss him. I remember that he's awfully cute.

Oh, then I should definitely email Fraction! And then if he'll be there, you and he and Tim can all meet up and, I dunno, get some kind of group restraining order against me.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Allyson, if you leave postcards at the Browncoat table they will relentlessly pimp your book for you. You should avail yourself of their fervor. IJS

I'm gonna be the doofus basking in the glow of the Drive writer with the parking spot and the actual connection to the show. You can't see me but I'm making a cross eyes and buck teeth face, to illustrate my doofusness.
I have no idea how I ended up with cool friends. I suspect that my mom pays them.
ETA: Thanks, Tamara, James said it would be alright to drop some off awhile back, and I'll see if there's room before making a nuisance of myself!

Also, also, Sars should come out here one day and we can do dueling readings. She can talk about television, and I can talk about people who watch television.
And then we can put it on YouTube and sue ourselves.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Wait, up this way? For reals? Will you have even a scrap of unscheduled time, or will any non-Wondercon time be carefully hoarded in a hermetically-sealed jar labeled FOR TIM ONLY?

Awww. Unfortunately, I'm going up the night before, crashing, going to the thing, and coming right home.
But I'll get up there again soon for a visit iffn I can crash with Miz Perkins.
I only ever expect to see Tim from a afar and get absolutely no hang time at these things.

Well, dang. 'Cause if Wondercon is in one of those big conventiony spaces south of Market, there's a nice old hotel just a couple blocks away with gorgeous afternoon teas and a swankalicious bar with a Maxfield Parrish painting right there over the bartenders' heads.
Probably just two-three blocks away. IJS.
