Oh that looks like much fun!

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

So do you live in the area? :-)

[lillianleitzel.livejournal.com]

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 :-)

[lillianleitzel.livejournal.com]

And they got some good roller derby and some swanky old timey bars!

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

Most likely I'll be hanging out at the hotel bar.

[charlesatan.livejournal.com]

Have a safe trip and enjoy! Yay, toastmistress!

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

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.

[charlesatan.livejournal.com]

Will you be at Wiscon or Balticon too?

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

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

We can get you one of those Star Wars holograms... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thOxW19vsTg)

[ecbatan.livejournal.com]

I'll see you there!

Great--I was expecting to see you there.

[kijjohnson.livejournal.com]

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

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

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.livejournal.com]

He died right before I moved there.

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

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!

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

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

You're going to KC???

[themadblonde]

Aww, man, almost makes me wish I still lived there. Give my regards to the best ribs in the midwest.

Re: You're going to KC???

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

Sure will!

[orrin.livejournal.com]

I'll be there!

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

Well come up and say hi!

[orrin.livejournal.com]

Will do!
