  • Mood: excited
  • Music: Outkast, "Hey Ya!"

Appearances and administration! Plus, NEW SHINIES.

Item the first: I have updated my website appearances. Go, view, and learn where I'm going to be. I have confirmed appearances in Australia, New York, California, and Oregon. Which brings me to...

Item the second: I am delighted and honored to announce that I have been selected as the Friends of Filk Guest for OryCon 32. This year's theme is "the Darker Side of Fantasy," which is something I feel I can work with quite well. I'll be appearing with Vixy and Tony, which always makes me happy, and maybe I'll even have a brand new album by then! The convention will be held in Portland, Oregon, from November 12th through the 14th. I hope you can make it, if it's even remotely local to you.

Item the third: If you ever feel the need to quit your job, this is pretty much the way to do it. Style, a sense of humor, and a great way of making your point. (I do wonder what kind of reference she's going to get, but...) Just don't read the comments. The sexism can get a little scary at certain points. But the facial expressions are twenty miles beyond awesome.

Item the fourth: This is what you've all been waiting for, which is a large part of why I've been keeping you in suspense. I'd say that I was sorry, but you'd all know that I was lying through my teeth. So instead, I shall say LOOK! SHINY! Much more effective.

Icons and Wallpapers for An Artificial Night have been posted on my site.

Tara has really outdone herself with this latest batch, and I am absolutely enthralled by her graphic awesome. Some will make more sense after you've read the book, but they're all fantastic now. Go, look, take, have, and join the flailing excitement as you realize...book three is ALMOST HERE.

Gleh.

If you have time outside of OryCon, I highly recommend you visit Powells. Uber drool worthy and it's a bookstore you want to get lost in.

I second that!! Powells is FAB!!

The only thing MORE fab than Powell's is Seanan coming to PORTLAND!!! That's only a little over an hour away rom the farm!

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....y'know, there is a group of afternoon drive DJ's in Portland who are constantly talking about the Zombie Apocalypse...one says he'd just give himself up instantly, the others are fighters. It'd be great if you/Mira could promote FEED while you're in town! Just sayin...

I'm a big, big fan of Powell's. THE CITY OF BOOKS.

I'm also a fan of Voodoo Donut, because I am a simple soul.

Tell me about it --- Bacon Maple Bars are eVil in the best possible way.

Well, you are half-way to becoming a full-fledged Portlandite! All that's left is to either hit Stumptown Coffee, Ground Kontrol for some vintage arcade gaming, or one of our many many many many many many many many...did I mention many?...breweries.

Oh, and might I suggest you visit Saturday Market and treat yourself to one of these: http://lonelydinosaur.com/apparel/philosoraptor.html

It's an epic shirt of undiluted epicness. :D
