Windycon + TAFF Auction!

I will be going to Windycon. In fact, I'm on staff as head of Program Ops. How and when I get there will depend in part on whether or not Brian is going. On the one hand, U*Con. On the other, steampunk goodness, the Foglios, and the chance to chat with Chris Garcia about what it's like to be a TAFF delegate.

He's torn.

But *I*, not being the stalwart gamer that Brian is, will be going to Windycon.

We (meaning Renovation) will be having a fan table there, so let me know if you'd like to help staff it. We (meaning ConFusion) *might* be throwing a party. Let me know if you'd like to help with *that*. We (meaning program ops) will most certainly be having a ball. You can find us in the green room. And we (meaning the TAFF candidates) are organizing a TAFF auction. Don't know when yet, but Frank is sending me nifty things care of Erik V. Olson, Brian and I are donating some things, and I've started soliciting donations from others.

I already have on offer a signed set of the Cloudmages trilogy by S.L. Farrell. (*bows to [livejournal.com profile] sleigh*).

I am also contemplating entertainment to draw people to the auction.

Um, Fred, I'm looking at *you*. ;)

Perhaps I'll sing "The Awful Truth" (anyone have a small bell?). Or the Chastity Belt song. I wish I knew someone to sing that with me as a duet. Doing all the voices is fun but the chorus does have a lovely harmony. or am I thinking of "A Fairy Story"? Just have to make sure I'm not up against Tom Smith. Hey, maybe I'll ask Tom to plug the gig, once I know when it is.

So come see me make a fool of myself. And auction off cool stuff.

Donations welcome!

Trying to convince my friend Lindsey the Booth Babe to come and start the "Hot Girls in Silly Hats" society--- regrettably, I no longer qualify (if I ever did), gettin' old and feeling the ugly is as ugly does, goes clean to the bone and radiates outward from an ugly soul," thing.

Ooh, you know the "175 signed and endoodled deluxe copies of the _Last Unicorn_" thing that Peter S. Beagle is doing?

No, I don't know about this 175 delux copies thing Peter is doing. I have actually been waiting on an order of Unicorn stuff from Peter for two months. I hear I'm going to get an extra Unicorn print for waiting. I'm just hoping it gets here in time for the November birthday I ordered it for...

Yikes. P'raps this relates to current financial crisis, in some manner...

PS oh stop it about the ugly bit. You have always been a babe, thick ankles or no.

M'dear, Fufuberry Gaiman himself feels a bit squatty and uncouth next to Lindsey. And say what you will, he is a *total* babe (okay, you'll probably say, "I agree.") So thanks. Want to borrow a silly hat?
