"the origin and rise of the arisian empire"

"arisia: created or evolved?"

"hail arisia, all hail discordia"

(sorry, it's still early in my day)

"Work like you were living in the early days of a better Arisia."

On second thought, it wouldn't fit.

With "The Final Cut" coming out this year... happypete December 31 2007, 12:52:22 UTC
...this might be apropos:

"Arisias lost in time, like tears in rain."

Sorry, I don't get the reference. But I like the sound of it.

From Blade Runner [screen adaptation of Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep]:

Batty [played by Rutger Hauer]: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

Page 4, Divisions & Divheads, 4th line, "err" s/b "er" and should have a comma after it. Also last line, change to "er" (since "err" is another word ( ... )

"Page 31, left column, Pocket Program, "Reviewers & Proffreaders" s/b "Reviewers & Proofreaders"."

That's intentional typo.

I saw other intentional ones, and wondered whether this one was, too, but it didn't seem quite at the same level as the others (i.e., I had to point it out just in case it wasn't...).

Thanks for the comments. They were very helpful.

Page 5, Boskone ad, might want to check that the registration price is appearing properly.

Not my problem. They send me a pdf, and I print it.
Oh, I see what you mean - the '$' is missing. That's really interesting, because it's there in the original pdf, and it's there in the InDesign preview image.

Page 8, first new paragraph, 4th line, "women" s/b "woman".

If you read it closely, it seems to be intentional:
"...it has given me the opportunity to experience more of the women - the many facets she has - and, like her fiction, she has multiple."

Page 13, seems like the "Other" category s/b in "Non-Fiction."

"Other" is for non-genre work. IIRC, Kelly Goldberg was a horror writer, and the obit was published in Locus, which makes it genre-related writing.

Page 13, all the books referenced in Short Fiction s/b ital.But not magazine names? I've never been sure how to handle magazine names, movie titles, etc ( ... )

we're at the peak of lolspeak.
"my arisias, let me show you them"
(or possibly "we can has arisias")

It's linked from the website...

Fine-looking book. I can scarcely wait to hold one in my little hands. %-}

P.S.: Kokyu dosa, at some point during the weekend? ;-D

Thanks, it helps to start with good material, but I have to admit I'm really pleased with how it came out.

Are you around before/after the con? Our dojo meets about half a mile from the hotel, and we have class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings.

My own dojo traces its roots to Kokikai (nickykaa started his practice under these folks, so that's extra tempting. It would have to be Monday, depending on what's happening with Dead Dog, etc.

Who teaches there, so I can ask nickykaa if he recognizes the names?

P.S.: Not sure if I should pack gi/hak'... hmmmmmmmmmm...

That's so cool! Small world.

Our head instructor is Dave Comi (4th dan), assisted by Jay Rifkin (3rd dan) and E'beth Haley (2nd dan). Dave and Jay are both ex-Princeton, and studied under Dan McDouglall and Gary Snyder (both 5th dan, I believe, and both of whom will be here for a weekend seminar next month - w00t!)

If you're interested, I've got spare gi. And I usually go to the Monday class.
