Auction me

[ellenkushner]

It's not my fault. You guys told me I would not make a fool of myself if I offered "Take Ellen Kushner to Lunch in NYC" as an auction item for Brenda Novak's 2009 Online Auction to Benefit Diabetes Research. So I did it. (I'm also offering a signed & inscribed first edition [trade paperback, which really is the First] of TPOTS.)

There are 3 days left to bid.

Just sayin'.

Oooh. I don't think there are friends of mine aware of this, so I'm linking in my journal to spread the word. :)

(I'm still working on the Facebook/Twitter issue for IAF -- it seems there are a current rash of problems at Facebook that's making things problematic, however. I've got to delve into the developer forums to see what the deal is.)

Thank you!

If it was taking you to lunch in the San Francisco Bay Area, I promise it would be an entirely different tale.

I know, I know . . . I thought about saying "or any city she happens to be visiting" since I do get around - but the logistics would be enough to kill anyone.

They would. But it does bring to mind the questions of whether you know what Southern California conventions you'll attend this year, and which they are!

In the mean time, I'm going for the book.

World Fantasy Con in San Jose in November! If you're there, just buy a book & I'll gladly sign it for you.

That would be great! It's, hmmm, several hundred miles North of me, but I'll see what I can do.

Well, don't stress yourself - it's an expensive con, and I'm sure I'll be back to SoCal one of these days. Patience.

User elissa_carey referenced to your post from benefit diabetes: take ellen kushner to lunch!

Then bid on taking Ellen Kushner to lunch to benefit diabetes (http://ellen-kushner.livejournal.com/256373.html)! Okay, so I know not a lot of my friends live in the NYC area.

OMG!!!

[ellen-kushner.livejournal.com]

And as you're a colleague on the Board of Directors of the IAF, I won't even make you pay for the privilege.

If I win, may I send a designated diner in my place?

[ellen-kushner.livejournal.com]

You may.

[just-ann-now.livejournal.com]

Not that I wouldn't be delighted to meet you for a cuppa sometime when you're buzzing by on I-95....

[ellen-kushner.livejournal.com]

It would be a pleasure.
