I'm still confused -- reading to chairs? Are you reading to people, or practicing or something?
Either way, sounds like it'll be a great conference for you.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Chairs need entertainment too.

It's just the timing - and I'm far from upset about it - the reading slot is 7-7:30pm when the Hugo Awards start at 8pm. I might not get a lot of audience anyway, since I'm new, but this slot is when people will be getting ready, getting seats for the awards, etc.
So I may find something nice to reward the people who do come... that I like to eat/drink too. And I'll probably keep it short so we can get seats.

bahahahahaa. OMG. Awesome.
Sylvie's got great tips for public speaking, btw! She chimed in on a blog post where I'm not yet talking about the fact that I'm an 'opening act for the Hugos*' (TM, P-C). So you all are technically the first to hear about this development.
- typing while laughing. I'm probably going to have to sprint across the convention center to see the Hugos, after.

You're welcome! (I must confess I was confused at first and didn't realize your reading wasn't in the same location as the Hugos. But still!)
