Other members of the Charlaine board have contacted me with interest in attending. There will be a total of 5 (at this time) that would like to come along.

I just sent an email to Shannon to confirm that we're not overwhelming them. I doubt we are, but it's polite to ask ;)

Ok, we're not overwhelming them, at we have reservations at the Hobbit for 6pm, 15-20 people, either in a back room (if we fit) or on the patio, weather permitting.

Ask for Butcher, or Dresden.

Head count will be ongoing til the day before, so keep this thread updated ;)

Huh.

Work MIGHT have me in Houston that week at the current time. That'd be serendipitous.

Is Friday the only day that they are going to be there? Or will they be there thru the whole Con?

I haven't seen Jim since before Storm Front. I haven't seen you since before that. And if work will buy the ticket to go to Houston.... :)

Curse you people and your close proximity to Jim's appearances!

Any news on Phauxcon?  I think that Philly is about as close to me as he is going to get...

I recently spoke to Xionin, and she says we'll get more info later this month.  She or I will post it here as soon as it's available!

Ok, Priscellie, just listened to the first 20 mins of the podcast, YOU'RE from Dallas, but your accent is too neutral and you say "yeah...." like a mideastener or Canadian...where are your parents from? :)

That's not a Philly accent, either.

My mom is from Abilene and my dad is from Dallas.  They don't have Texan accents either!  In fact, I'd be hard pressed to think of anyone I know that has a Southern accent.  I do say "y'all" occasionally, if it makes you feel better. :D It perplexed my linguistics grad student ex-boyfriend, too.

Can you tell by the way I overenunciate my "s"s that I used to have a lisp?

Sure. ;)

Priscellie, there's an old joke that no one in Dallas is FROM Dallas. ;) I grew up there, but I spent my pre-teen years all up and down the east coast.
I'll listen to the s's when I get a chance to listen to the rest of the podcast. Myself, I have a stutter, and it's funny when people tell me I don't. I think my body language covers it, since it's mild.
