Grandpa Frank's Big Fish didn't normally get away |
If you are or can arrange to be anywhere near Orem, Utah next week, you really need to come. It's cheap, it has over 100 panels and other events, and, for the second year in a row, it has... wait for it... wait for it... ME! Yes, I'm moderating again. I'll be on the following panels:
Thursday, February 9, 10:00 am
Podcasting for Writers (Perfect, right?)
Also on the panel: Daniel Coleman, Stephen Gashler, Robert J Defendi
Thursday, February 9, 2:00 pm
Tolkien and Lewis: why they are still relevant after seventy years
Also on the panel: Michael R. Collings, Jessica Harmon, James A. Owen
Friday, February 10, 7:00 pm
Why we love horror
Also on the panel: Nathan Shumate, Michael R. Collings, Jenn R. Johansson
Then, in all my spare time, I'll also be gophering. Yes, you should be jealous. There is nothing more fun than getting a back-stage pass to all the conference fun. And all I have to do is carry some water, hustle hither-and-yon with an important-looking clipboard, and boss people around (five minutes, Mr. Sanderson)!
Bliss.
So who's coming?
ME! I'll see you there! :D
ReplyDeleteArgh - not me, this time. Maybe next year. Can't wait to hear how it went for everyone!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your husband's grandpa. Fantastic picture, though.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous. Incredibly jealous. I was just looking at the schedule yesterday wishing there was some way to teleport back and forth from Louisiana to Utah so I could see the crew of Writing Excuses, check out some of the events, and still keep all my local obligations. Maybe next year.
Have fun wielding your magic clipboard! ;)
Oh, I want to SOOO bad! I'm thinking of dumping everything and just doing it :)
ReplyDeleteCome, Angie!
ReplyDeleteMe! Me! I'm going. And I'm gophering, too. But not moderating. That would scare the crap out of me.
I wish I could! I've heard so many fabulous things about this conference. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd Grandpa Joe sounds like a wonderful person to have known:)
