I will be in Houston from tomorrow through Sunday. Are there Houstonistas? I think maybe there are?
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Now tagless for your comfort.
Ever wanted to watch roller derby but couldn't make it to a bout? The Women's Flat Track Derby Association is streaming their regional and national tournaments. There is free streaming of all the tournaments--starting with the Eastern Regional hosted by Charm City all weekend.

All right -- so I have my (I think) finished draft of my first-ever query letter to a print magazine (BUST) all ready to go.
If anyone with experience in writing query letters to magazines wants to (please god) take a gander at it before I send it out, please e-me at my profile addy.
PLEASE. And thank you.

My doggy lama blog post today is based on something I learned from Sparky about how to help a lost dog.
It's the first in a series and mentions a new service for helping find lost pets in the DC area. Give it a click if you are interested and please face/tweet/pass it on if you are inspired.
Full disclosure: I do not profit from the service, but my part-time employer does.

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
Heyas, my friend Amy has been commissioned to write a biography of Joss Whedon, and awesomely, Joss and just about everyone he has worked with have been enthusiastically participating. Now Amy is looking toward fandom with a questionnaire. See her letter below:
I am writing a Joss Whedon Biography which will be published by Chicago Review Press and Aurum Press in Fall 2012.
I'm very excited to get responses from Joss fans from all over fandom and beyond to include in the book, and have created a short questionnaire. If you would like to participate or have any questions, please contact me at whedonresearch@gmail.com.
(A little about me – I'm a founding member of PopGurls.com, a pop-culture web magazine. I'm also a Director in the MTV Promos department and have worked in online and on-air media for over thirteen years.)
Thanks, Amy Pascale

Peoples, It is time to think about the Annual Winter Celebration of your choice Secret Gift Exchange of Awesomeness. AWCSGEA for short, flows off the tongue doesn't it.
Join in the Ohhhing and the Ahhhing. The Squeeing and the Plotting. I want to use elfster again this year, so email me: b(dot)org(dot)msbelle(at)gmail.com if you are IN!
No real spending limit, whatever feels right. All best efforts to deliver main gift by 12/31.
Now I will earworm you - It's beginning to feel a lot like AWCSGEA!
