Hi Jon - please do. And nice to meet you! I just clicked on your LJ and found out from your blog that you're from NY, too!

I've been stalking you and your book from afar for some time now, as one of the few (but growing) AsAm authors! I'm from San Diego actually but kind of swing between New York and SF and SD, etc. But yes, if I'm there I'll certainly come say hello!

If you can make it to the Apala ceremony, that would be wonderful, but I haven't had the heart to ask anyone as it's 8 am on Sunday. Kinda early. Wendy Shang will be there, too. We will be half-awake together. Ha!
