...up to Heaven bold, at the gates a'knocking, knocking.

Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the never-ending parade of ongoing projects, keeping me from losing track of what I'm doing and dissolving into a weeping pile of insecurities and confusion. Hooray!

You were announced as the Toast at a convention near me (Kansas City) next year, but it's not yet on your list. Hope that doesn't mean something has changed. I'm looking forward to finally getting to meet you in meat space.

[seanan_mcguire]

I pretty much don't put conventions here until a) I am on their web sites, and b) they have given me written permission. I've gotten yelled at too many times.

Although now I'm starting to get pissed because half these cons don't update their damn web sites, so I wind up with a lot of "no comment" replies.

[apocalypticbob]

I completely understand that. There was much applause when the announcement was made at the closing ceremonies. Looking forward to seeing you!

[seanan_mcguire]

I found the post on their Facebook. I HATE DOING THAT. But I am tired of being asked, so...guess they just don't get a formal announcement.

"Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus," July 14, 2015 (as Mira Grant) So cloooooose!

Also I loved the Devil's Carnival - that was probably my favorite song in the whole opera, though "Prick! Goes the Scorpion's Tail" is the most fun to sing while washing the dishes XD Are you excited for the sequel?

[seanan_mcguire]

I already have my tickets.

[geekhyena]

*looks at tour dates, grabs roommate, squees* Aaaand we just got ours for our city's! Woooot!

[amdsmrnitesdrm]

Yay! New Devil's Carnival movie makes me sooooo happy! There's no Seattle show, though, so I have to figure out if I can get down to Portland for it.

[seanan_mcguire]

Booooooo.

Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus

That is a lovely title.

[seanan_mcguire]

Thaaaaaank you.

[ashabardon]

Is "Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus" a Newsflesh story by chance? I read that and thought of Dr. Abbey.

[seanan_mcguire]

Yup.

[marziek]

Who is the publisher for The Gods of HP Lovecraft? Is that a (gaspsqueeclap) Mermaid story?

[seanan_mcguire]

That is Journalstone, and alas, no; it's a Deep One story.

Thanks!

Is it crazy that I love semi-colon usage in common commentary? Such clarity of purpose in semi-colons.
