Today is the first full day of programming. So, here we go…. 11 am Over the Hills in Farah’s Way: Four Categories of Fantasy: Gregory Frost (L), Ellen Asher, Greer Gilman, Sarah Micklem, John Clute. Every Readercon attendee is urged to pick up and devour a copy of Farah Mendlesohn’s Rhetoric of Fantasy, in which […]
Today has just been about the longest day I’ve had in a while. Up at 6am to finish packing the car, packing our bags, pick projects/books to take with me, and to get on the road by 9am. We also had to make sure the garden was watered, all the garbage out of the house […]
Today was spent getting things ready for driving up to Readercon. I printed off the signs for the book table. I bookmarked some articles to read later. We cleaned out the car, found the thing-gummy for attaching to the roof rack to hold extra stuff, and got the bookcases for the table out of storage. […]

Of course, we’re arriving on Thursday early evening hopefully in time to get our table set up in the Dealer’s Room. SFRevu usually has a table at Readercon and we’d love to […]
Today, I washed the kitchen floor and the bathroom floor. Yeah, me. I also cleared off nearly one third of the dining room table. Got rid of a lot of minor email tasks that had been building up in my inbox. Made a loaf of bread (Italian but it didn’t rise quite right so that’s […]
