If you are a Daily Science Fiction subscriber, a very short story from me will be in your inbox on Monday. If not, the story will appear on the Daily Science Fiction website on Sept. 12. (eeep!)

SFistas! I will be in your city from Sept 8 to 12! Then I will be taking a side-trip to Seattle for a couple days, then I will be returning to SF on the 15th before leaving on the 17th! I would like to meet-up with as many of you as possible. We can discuss our options in the F2F thread.

I also (of course) have pictures of my trip so far, starting here, and continuing here.

Hey Buffistas, a friend of a friend's daughter has gone missing in Germany -- last seen in Nordrhein-Westfalen area in Germany.

If you're on Facebook, you can see the details here: [link]

Will you share it on Facebook, please?

Also, for those of you on Twitter, I tweeted it here: [link]

I'm asking you to please retweet my message. There are a lot of us and we know people from all over, so I'm hoping we can boost the signal. Thanks!

edit...

I just came back to post that the kids have been found and saw Vortex beat me to the punch. Thanks V. Thanks, Buffistas.

I just checked out and this has been posted

Boys and girls, it's over! The police in Hamburg have them. They nabbed them in the Reeperbahn train station

Chicagoland Buffistas are strongly encouraged to check out Farmhouse, a new restaurant that I have a familial interest in. It's at 228 West Chicago, and I understand the drinks are great!

To celebrate getting 75,000 Facebook fans Criterion is having a 50% off sale on all of their in-stock DVDs and Blu-Ray discs for 75,000 seconds (well, about 68,000 seconds now). [link]

Dear Buffistas,

Would you kindly go and sign my Terriers DVD petition? I'm working on a post for my little site to explain it all, but basically, I'll need some decent numbers to show potential distributors that there is (if there is) a market for them.

Please? Help me out. And if you could post it to your various and sundry blogs as a favor, that would be awesome. Thanks a ton.

Thanks to the awesome powers of the Business thread, my new website/blog has been expertly edited.

I'm planning on releasing it into the wild tomorrow, with a few extra blog posts.

I would deeply appreciate any thoughts, criticisms, ideas.

Mosey on over to the doggy lama and see if you can break it!

Many thanks for any input sent to my profile addy.

Cheers!

I will be in Houston from tomorrow through Sunday. Are there Houstonistas? I think maybe there are?
