Con or Bust! and sundry news
Feb. 12th, 2012 03:12 pmCon or Bust, the Fans of Color Assistance Project annual auction which helps fans of color get to conventions like WisCon is up and running. Bid on many fabulous items including a signed (by me) copy of Hellebore and Rue: Tales of Queer Women and Magic, edited by JoSelle Vanderhooft and myself (Lethe Press, 2011). Bid early and often to support a more diverse future for fandom!
In other news, we are back from the wilds of Utah. Jana is holding up pretty well and is quite glad we went. I met her family for the first time and found many of them to be pleasant and amiable, despite the tragic circumstances. In short, the trip went as well as either of us possible could have hoped for. I have also now sampled the much-vaunted jello salad concoctions to be found at an LDS church function, and while I don't foresee taking jello salad on as a permanent dietary change, found some of them to be quite interesting, tasty even. And Jana's friends in Salt Lake City are awesome and incredibly helpful.
So we are back and wildly behind on stuff. My Loft Literary class, Lavender Ink, is scheduled for next Saturday if I get 2 more people to sign up. I'm putting the finishing touches on my outlines and such. It's a chance to pick my brains in a semi-organized manner, if that appeals to you. Then I get to race home in time for Readings Goes to the Wolves, a podcast hosted by writer Lara Zielinsky and featuring Naomi Clark, Meghan O'Brien, Nene Adams, Allison Moon and me talking about lesbian werewolves. This should be seriously awesome, just saying.
