RSVP: AH midwest gathering headcount

[logophile]

Bad news: it doesn't look like I'll be able to make the gathering. So I better get lots of pics to make up for it.

SJ

WHAT??

Tell me what's going on! We'll fix it!

Not really fixable, I'm afraid. Big battle with the ex over the kids and him having to take vacation, etc. So...no more travelling for me this year.

We'll find a way, I promise!

 

[sophia jane]

There's a small hope, but nothing to get excited about.

Your AV excites me!
I know we can make it work. It's too important not to!

Thanks Dark.
I was thinking of doing that yesterday, but never got around to it!

 

[The_Darkness]

Not a problem

Just choc it up to the annoying randomness that is my brain...

 

[logophile]

I'm glad to have the chance to tell you congratulations and good luck.
You seem to be very happy with your lady and I wish the best for you.

Thanks Logophile! Seems to be nothing but well-wishers out here on that note, and I really do appreciate it.

She's kinda starting to look forward to this shindig in November, too.

I'm getting very excited about this and am feeling like we need to start making some more finite plans. We have the book signing on Saturday afternoon, but we need to know what we're going to do after that.

I'll find out how other meet-up groups have handled the nitty gritty detail part and get back to everyone!

 

[impressive]

We have the book signing on Saturday afternoon...

If folks are planning to sign Coming Together (at least v1 ... v2, too, if it's ready), we'll need COPIES to sign. It'd be easy to create eBook copies on CD if I had the cover & label. I'd be willing to burn 25-30 copies.

 

[logophile]

Bump!

 

[logophile]

Bumpity Bump!

 

[logophile]

We need to get busy planning this.
What's every body up for?

We're doing henna, for sure. Lots.
And a book signing. What time is that scheduled for?

And other than that...
Dinner?
Dancing?
Quiet evening at home to chat?
All of the above?

Tell me what you guys want so I can start getting shit together.
ChickyBaby has offered to help me with the planning, so I'm not doing it alone!

 

[impressive]

And a book signing. What time is that scheduled for?

Tentatively: noon-4

I'll arrive on Wednesday ... and you have my cell. I'm flexible as to activities -- and will gladly help share any expenses. (It's a business trip for me, actually -- in TWO ways.)

Can you send me contact info for any local radio station which might be interested in doing an interview in advance of the signing? Phaze sent me a draft press release last week.

I'll have another release to sign by then, too: Erotique.

I got the stuff to burn the Coming Together CDs ... and ordered print jackets.

Radio Station:
I'd contact www.rock102one.com... they seem most likely.

I'm so excited that you'll be here Wednesday! And I know that you have actual real work to do, too, but just knowing you're in town will be great!

So, besides the signing and the henna, what else do you want to do?

You want me to tell EVERYONE?

 

[logophile]

You want me to tell EVERYONE?

Just PM it to me.
And use all the bad words.

 

[logophile]

OK, we're getting to the serious planning part of our gathering! I'm so excited. If you're at least 50% certain you're going to join us, and want to be included in the planning process, please PM and let me know. I'll let you know where we go from there.

Can't wait can't wait can't wait!

 

[Alessia Brio]

I'm so exciting.

Yes, you are!

I'll be there.

 

[logophile]

Yes, you are!

I'll be there.

HAHAHAHA!

You know, that's a typo that's been haunting me since I was like 14. I always alway always type exciting instead of excited. I'm a goof!

 

[logophile]

Bump!

I don't have the time or patience to read this entire thread. Can I get a quick update on the when's and where's and who's of everything?
