Can I ask if people are still interested in meeting in LA this summer? Or has that desire changed? I wasn’t ever going to do anything elaborate, but if there’s interest, I can still put together some basic info.
Discussion in ita’s thread.

My roommate is selling some nice vases on Ebay, as well as some handsome prints of Irish counties. If you or someone you know is interested in these things, could you let them know?

Did either of those threads get opened? Because I don't see them anywhere if they did.

Am taking suggestions over on fbook & twitter for the best kind of contest to give away my last remaining ARC.
Which I will be doing next week.
[note to file, if you buying a copy of Updraft or getting it through a library is a hardship and you and wish to read it come September, I will help figure out a way you can do so. Am working out a few possibilities for how this will work still (might be a version of the traveling book), and I can't afford to make this offer outside of buffistas, but b.org is specifically mentioned in the acknowledgements, and it's important to me to do this here.]
