I spent last weekend and the first part of this week with pamrentz, spitkitten, and chris_reynaga. It was wonderful to enjoy the electric company (hah!) of these talented, loving, warm, funny people. Caren was a fabulous hostess, Pam rocked my world (as usual), and Chris was his usual entertaining self.

chris_reynaga and I attended Charles De Lint's workshop on Heroes and Villians, which was informative, insightful, and where Chris completely shook the place up. He's a talented writer (and musician) -- you'll be seeing his name all over the place soon enough.

I could blog more about the weekend, but my classmates have already done a fine job of it, and so I'll direct you to their entries:

I'd also like to point you here. Clarion West has received a Challenge Grant from Amazon. I strongly encourage you to look into the details.

Tor.com is coming up with all sorts of great facets to their new website. Theresa DeLucci, one of my most fabulous CW 08 classmates, has a blog entry today on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Check it out!
