I get in to San Antonio/Worldcon on Thursday afternoon if the planes all align. I know I have panels Saturday and Sunday, the Writers' Workshop on Sunday, and (possibly) two readings (MEEP). Leaving early Monday so I can get back for HPF's first day of 4th grade. Sheryl, I hope we can have that coffee. I WON'T have a migraine, I swear it.

I would love to see everyone - Chris, PC - some of it has to be played by ear until I know my full schedule.

Commander's palace reservation has been made for Friday 9/13 at 8:30.

Wheeeeeee

Is it evil of me to hope that my dad doesn't want to go to the birthday party so I can make it to New Orleans?

I’m going to have to wear a jacket, right?

They are business casual, so no jeans, shorts, or t-shirts, and men must not wear open toed shoes. Jackets are preferred at dinner but not required

I hope not, Matt, or else we are going to need more seats on the evil bus.

hey Seattlistas! Bob and I will be in your town for a couple days in September, the 19th and 20th and then back again on the 27th. I've never been and Bob hasn't been for years so I'd love suggestions on cool, off the beaten path, things to do. We'll be staying at the Hotel Monaco on 4th Avenue & Spring St. and won't have a car. Also, of course, would love to see anybody who will be around! Ideally, if there is someplace that would work, we could hang out for a few hours in a place with good drinks and people could show up if they are able.

whoo!!! Thank you, Lee.

Awesome, lisah! We can def give recommends. I'll probably be in town, and would love to do dinner or drinks or whatever. Not sure about "off the beaten path", but...

DANA!

I'm going to have several hours to meander around Houston. Do you have any recommendations on what to do?

Awesome, meara! We'll make a plan closer to when we're there. Maybe notoff the beaten path so much as we'd like personal recommendations from folks who live there!
