Well my bags are packed; I'm ready to go.

Dear Seanan, I am trying very hard to get to the convention next week in Chattanooga. It's the closest you've come to Birmingham, AL, since the Wheel of Time convention in Georgia, which I also missed. I have had ConNooga on my calendar since you announced it, when I decided I would go come hell or high water. I've saved enough for the admission. But my original plan to ride with a friend fell through, as did my alternate. I am now checking bus schedules...

First question about programming: why does the schedule only show you at your reading and Q/A? Are they really going to have the "How to survive a zombie apocalypse" discussion without you? Or the "Research: getting it right" panel? How can I find out more?

Second question: I can't tell if there are any bands performing. Regardless, will there be a chance to hear you sing again live? ( remember a few of my favorite songs from being around you, back before the CDs... and thank the world for YouTube lists.)
Surely, filking will go going on somewhere?

Best,
Mack, who really, really wants to go see his favorite writer (probably favorite poet, too)
