Can't wait to see you as well! I'm glad it's so close to me this time around - only about 5 hours by car. That makes it a sure thing.

I laid out the Con program in 2006, Laura and would be happy to do something along those lines again if it would be helpful. Just let me know!

:-)

This was great news to come home to at the end of a sad, but not unexpected, day. My mom was accepted as a Hospice patient this afternoon under a general failure to thrive diagnosis. She's happy, though, in no pain and she knows us all - all very good things.

Oh, Mary, I'm so sorry about your mom. *hugs*

I'm glad Writercon is closer to you this time. We made a big effort to hit a part of the country that we hadn't been to before (which is part of why it took so long to announce--hotel negotiations are HARD!).

We haven't talked as a group about who we want to design the program guide, but I loved your work last time and would love to have you do it again. So I'll definitely put in a good word for you! And will let you know soon. Thank you so much for volunteering. :)

My feelings won't be hurt if you go another direction, but I'm definitely willing to take it on again.

Last time I printed them as well and, in exchange, the con picked up some of the cost of my Spuffy party. I think it came out pretty even...

I would love to room with you if you're thinking of coming up!

Glad you're getting some writing done - and I'm still available to answer Wisconsin questions to the best of my ability when needed. :-)

Yay! Minneapolis. I was praying for that. I can drive there. No freakishly expensive plane tickets that leave me stranded in O'Hare for endless hours.

With airfares so apt to be ridiculous, I had my fingers crossed for Minneapolis, too - only 5 hours by car for me! Yeah! Can't wait to see you again! :-)

Mine, too - I've very excited.

I so hope you can come this year. Just the sitting around talking with other fans into the wee hours of the night is worth every penny spent.

I would love to meet you!

I've been to both of the previous WriterCon's and they are truly wonderful!

ETA: Yeah - I see you've added your name to the list at the con site! :-)
