Oh that looks like much fun!

So do you live in the area? :-)

I'm in NY now (this is Carolyn who wrote La Llorona) but I was just in Kansas City and loved it!! And I love me some slots and barbacue and vampires. =)

Aha! I didn't recognize you from your lj name (I should have checked your profile and I would have seen.

LOL. Last time a long time ago, I was also taken shooting and antiquing. But I don't think there's enough time for EVERYTHING...we'll see :-)

Thanks Charles. If I've anything interesting to post I will over the next few days.
A LOT of people will be gone next weekend--there are at least two other conventions I know of: Wiscon and Balticon.

Nope--all three are in totally different parts of the country so only if I can astroproject :-)

ecbatan May 18 2009, 22:57:38 UTC

Great--I was expecting to see you there.

Have fun! Too bad you won't see Lawrence. :-)

ellen_datlow May 19 2009, 03:06:59 UTC

Nope. I keep missing it.

When I visited Pat Cadigan in Overlook Park many years ago in the dead of summer--we were going to visit William Burroughs in Lawrence but Pat's car didn't have air-conditioning, it was unbearably hot and humid, and I hadn't gotten back a confirmation that I could visit. (this was before email and I wrote him a letter). When I got home, a note had come to say drop on by (to paraphrase).

kijjohnson May 19 2009, 03:22:59 UTC

He died right before I moved there.

I was actually in touch with James Grauenholz, who lived with him at the time, and not directly with Burroughs. I'd bought an original story by Burroughs for OMNI --and that all went through James.

Looking forward to doing panels with you! I'm on the editing panel, and I'll be your interviewer for the GOH session. See you soon!

Hi Allison--I know you--or at least I know your lj photo :-).
Super--I'm very much looking forward to this.
