To Do Done
Aug. 27th, 2009 07:15 pmFirst off, apologies to everyone to whom I owe a letter, a response, a thank you note, etc. (esp. Adrienne Martini - I love the scarf you made & gave me at Worldcon! I have a great photo of all of us wrapped in it! I should post it! Oh, hey - you've written about our dinner at Little Sheep! Cool photos.). In addition to getting ready for our 3-week UK jaunt, I've suddenly had - and hit - a bunch of deadlines. Here's my crossed-off To Do list. Give me your love!
* Revise "The Duke of Riverside" story for Ellen Datlow's urban fantasy anthology (coming in 2010, titled NAKED CITY, St. Martin's Press). Yeah, I sold it to her, got the contract, and then went, "Mmm...I don't think this story really works." She said if I could get it done before we left for England, she'd try to fit it in - assuming she agrees with me. Got it in last night. Phew!!! (But if none of my clothes match when we get there, that's why.)
* Draft "Dear Bordertown Authors" letter. Send to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blackholly & bgliterary & Terri' for fussing over details. Worry about who has time to reconstruct map of Bordertown from existing stories. Realize in bolt of genius that Fan Sites have already done exhaustive lists! Bless you, fans. We loves you. Have long phone meeting with Barry & Holly & figure out I don't really know how Googlegroups work, but am willing to learn. Letter sent. Awesome authors' awesome replies mostly responded to. It's magic!
* Type in all the performance changes from last year's Klezmer Nutcracker that were penciled in my script but never actually typed up, for reading (yesterday) at Vital. Which I don't have time to tell you about, but it was great. Lots of rewrites ahead, however.
* Figure out which shoes will not exacerbate exciting new foot condition (cuboid syndrome, anyone?) for next 3 weeks by trying on & wearing (w/different sock combinations) for an hour each. I'm almost there....
* Get tix for complicated multi-leg trip to WFC.
*Leave letter for doorman explaining which peripatetic musician friends will be crashing here while we're not.
* OK, you're bored now, aren't you? Go do something else! I am so glad the weather's broken. Trying to pack for 50-62F when it's 90 was a bit of a challenge.
I also want to give a special thank you shout to all my Interstitial Arts Foundation committee heads & members, & my IAF Executive Board pals - knowing you're out there doing great work makes it all so much easier!
