Hey coffee_and_ink!

From the Noreascon 4 Preliminary Program:

Saturday 11:00am: Fantasy of Manners

How do we define it? How do we draw the line, and what is its appeal? Is it a truth (universally acknowledged...) that only women can write it?

You sure you can't make it to Worldcon?

(Kidding! But this is just the kick-in-the-pants I need to re-read Swordspoint like I've been meaning too.)

Ha. I look forward to your report.

If they get Kathryn Cramer to set up simul-blogging, I'll look in. ;)

Drat, does this mean I have to bring my laptop to that panel--

"Hi, Mely-who-isn't-here-physically has a question about something you just said . . . "

You're not planning to bring the laptop to the panel to take notes? I hear it's the New Thing. ;)

Wait -- Labor Day Weekend? I think I'll be at a wedding in North Carolina, alas.

I'm an Old Thing, alas; I never brought my laptop to classes, even, to take notes, so I'm not really used to it. Also, my laptop is an Old Thing too: heavy, not such a great battery . . .

I'm tempted, but probably not.

And yeah, Labor Day weekend, September 2-6. Alas indeed.

I will take *copious* notes.
