Back from AggieCon 39. Had a great time. Didn't get much done toward finishing LORD OF MISRULE.

Now entering the pirate seas in earnest:



In the turret, no one can hear you scream ...

Great and awesome things about AggieCon: The people! Thanks to Alysha for the reading support, to Paul Ortega for the heads up on the manuscript goof, and to Kari and Joya and David for making my Saturday totally fun. :)

Not-so-awesome things about AggieCon: a post to come, but it involves blue tape and body parts.

My Smart Car is here! I'm picking it up today:



Expect squeeage.

Argh, off to repel the boarders and pile up the wordcount ....!

Smart car? For real? Jealousy... But I'm going to watch to see how you like it because I want one.

I totally cannot even properly express how much I want to thank you for making my Saturday fun and unforgettable! You are seriously one of the most amazing and inspiring people I've had the pleasure of meeting. Annnd you have glossy two-sided business cards! With lightning! *_*

Not-so-awesome things about AggieCon: a post to come, but it involves blue tape and body parts.
I wasn't there for that bit, so I'm looking forward to the story.

And omg, I can't believe you got a Smart Car. That is so cool!

Anyway, best of luck with the manuscript! Look at the Feast of Fools cover for inspiration, maybe? *_* LOL!

It's not often you can apply the phrase "ickle and wee!" to a car, but Smart Cars qualify. :) Nifty!

[info]spielmadchen and I were pretty peeved about the issue with the naughty bits and the blue tape in the art show (although I did like how Sarah Clemmons' ladies had blue bikinis made for them).

Yay for the Smart Car!

(Is it true that they're somehow engineered that if they get hit, they sorta deflect the damage away for something? Because whenever I squee over one, my dad always points out that I'd be "squished like bug!" if I was ever in an accident.)

Cool news about your Smart Car!

Question: Did the FenCon ad appear in the program book?

My next wheels will be a hybrid (unless it's a bicycle), as I do need the space--but I still wanna ride!

Can't wait to hear the dish on Aggiecon and positive vibes to repelling borders.

'Course I *now* have a mental picture of dozens of grinning pirates emerging from your wee little car like cutlass-waving clowns.

After my mom went to Germany the first time, she was raving about the Smart Car. Her cousin sent her a mini one on a key chain. I'm glad they're finally selling them here!

Ready to repel any and all boarders Capt'n. Except a certain Time Lord, or Air Force General, or Torchwood Captain, or math genius, or hot lawyer, or NCIS special agents....

Dude, that car is so cute! I want one! No room for the munchkin or his stroller, but WHO CARES. I can strap him to the roof.

Blue tape and body parts? Sounds like an industrial kitchen accident. :0/

I wish you'd come to a con near me.

And, I am so jealous of the car! I've been wanting one, well, or a vespa, for so long, but my hubby says no. : (

Enjoy it for me!

Oh, I've been dying to get one of those. Make sure you let us know how it drives and how satisfied you are with it.

Damn, it's cute!

Sorry we missed ya'll. Martha and I had been invited to spend the weekend in Austin with AT Campbell. First Aggiecon I've missed in 30 years, but from reports, we missed nothing except seeing old friends. Conversely, we got to visit several books stores, a gorgeous garden center, and picked up supplies at Whole Foods. Not to mention playing with AT's new 52" flat screen HD tv that made our jaws drop.
