StrowlerCon details
More info about what's going on next weekend. Besides me panicking about setting up and being around hundreds of people I don't know in unfamiliar surroundings and oh my god what will I eat and should I wear this skirt or that one?
I have lifted the post below in its entirety from Cat Valente, so all phrases like "who is me" are her, referring to herself. Just so you aren't confused. -I- am not even potentially getting tied up on a stage.

StrowlerCon is October 8-10 in Woburn, MA, and we are going to rock like you would not believe.
Join us in the Grand Ballrooms of the Woburn Holiday Inn, just north of Boston, on Columbus Day weekend - October 8th-10th, 2010 - for three nights of entertainment (live music, circus arts, burlesque) and two days of workshops, panels and other activities, including a special 10/10/10 celebration, and a Maker Showcase featuring inventions and material creations as well as artwork by local creators and attendees.
Click there to buy tickets - $45 for the weekend, $25 per day for day passes (so if you're going for more than one day, it pays to just buy the $45 weekend pass). To reserve your hotel room, e-mail lodging@strowlers.com.
Can't go but want to support StrowlerCon and sponsor a strowler? We have supporting memberships, and they come with goodies.
Okay. You have the technical details.
Here's the fun stuff.
