rocking. be sure to stop by the softt skull/bomb magazine table. i think we're also having a cocktail party/reception that thurs--i'll be sure to let you know!
Yay! Can't wait to actually meet the man, the myth, the legend himself. ;)
Hey, I'll be there working at the NER/VQR table some of the time. Find me and I'll buy you a drink. Jacob and I are usually milling about by the bar.
Oo, a cocktail party? I'd feel so sophisticated!
Looking forward to meeting everybody.
I'm going too. Will be hanging with the Writers in the Schools folks.
Sweet, Paul. I'll be there too. Hell, with all the bloggers that'll be in Vancouver, we should all have a blog-party!
The blogging world has reached a kind of critical mass and it's at this AWP that it'll probably be fully felt for the first time. Last year I knew of people, Aimee, for example, who blogged but there didn't seem to exist yet the wide reaching connections that now exist. It's going to be really interesting, not to mention fun.
Hey Paul: Glad you are going. Let's make sure to say hi if our paths cross. I'll be reading for Copper Canyon on Saturady afternoon, I believe.
