update, including party
Nov. 19th, 2011 10:28 amI really haven't posted since the train to FaerieCon?! Oops. Blame it on Facebook, where I can post little blurby updates as they occur to me - instant gratification is a cruel master. I like to do more thoughtful posts here - and I'm afraid all my recent Thinking has gone to houseguests, family, travel, out of town visitors, the rough mix (chapter by chapter) of the upcoming Swordspoint audiobook (which debuts on 11/29 with Audible.com/ACX/Neil Gaiman Presents! It will appear here:
http://www.audible.com/mt/Neil_Gaiman_Presents
and aherm if you join Audible in order to buy it once it's there, I aherm get extra $$ from them), making a huge fuss last Tuesday over the launch of
deliasherman 's THE FREEDOM MAZE, and planning the party for it here in NYC for it, which takes place this Tuesday and you're all invited.
I am in charge of the Authentic Louisiana 19c Punch (and the Sweet Tea). And the music: There will be a pianist playing music of 1860 & 1960, and right now I must leave you to go through the Stephen Foster Songbook for songs that are popular & not offensive, and through Civil Rights Songbooks (thank you, NYPL/Lincoln Center Music Circulating Library!) for songs everyone kinda knows, and make Lyric Sheets to print out for guests, because THERE WILL BE SINGING! Also the cake-baking contest.
But, um, FaerieCon was insanely fun, I've got photos somewhere (Twitter? other peoples' posts of our Bordertown panel?) of Delia in her goddam wings (OK, they're cute - and now Brian Froud wants to borrow them for his NYC Gallery Opening in December, but his wife won't let him and let me tell you those puppies can put someone's eye out if you're not careful) and the gorgeous Elizabethan-style gown I actually made her buy - which she can wear next week at DarkoverCon! - and we had the most amazing time with new BFF authors Tiffany Trent & Franny Billingsley (I've been a huge fan of her books for years - imagine what it's like to meet such a one, and discover you have tons in common & love hanging out! A different thrill from getting a warm hug from Peter Beagle a WFC - a Founding Father, but not someone you can talk Shoes with) - and then Franny was in NYC for the NBA (the one with no balls - oh, wait, that's both of them!) and we got to hang out with her with Nancy Werlin, who won awards for her YA Domestic Realism, but is slowly drifting over to Our Side of the Force (last 2 novels involve aherm Faerie) and is one of the nicest people on earth......um, I'd better go do those songsheets now.
But you know I love you. I do.

Burberry Women Bags have outstanding workmanship
Date: 2012-04-12 03:09 pm (UTC)Reproduction totes on this brand name, which have been designed according to the most well-known designer label bags, as well as nevertheless usually do not fee as significantly, they do not keep any kind of custom content label. In terms of appears along with style, however, people could be hard-pressed to see the actual significant difference between from suppliers purses developed following artist totes as well as the designer purses on their own.This is actually the [url=http://www.burberryoutletvip.com/]burberry bags[/url] sort of conciliation in designer finishing touches many ladies come to accept and also treasure. Nobody wants to know that the purse which usually appears so much like an artist content label handbag is actually one of many replica handbag from suppliers Burberry custom handbags that are readily available on the internet. The actual variances tend to be roughly unseen.
