Some bullets before I hit the road:

• My friend Lissy got married last weekend, which was cause for A.) much celebration, B.) fantastic reunions, C.) and many sotto voce comments about the adorableness of both bride and groom.
• I've resold "From Blood and Ash and Embers"! It'll be appearing in the June issue of Expanded Horizons.
• My good friend Sam is online -- you can find him at Scribbler's Doorless Room: A Tragicomical Blog about the Weird, the Absurd, and the Banal.
• And now I'm headed for WisCon! Hope to see some of ye there!

Cheers,

I'm trying to do a little fundraising to help ease the financial burden of Clarion West.  What with my upcoming move for grad school and uncertainty re: future employment, my situation is not the most secure.  Certainly not the most dire -- I am, after all, blessed with an abundance of overgenerous family and friends -- but a little lacking in rock-steadiness.  So if any of ye could do with a little more origami critters, handmade postcards, line notes, or tarot readings and a little less cash, I'd appreciate whatever you can spare!


I am, of course, not the only one with a sad wallet and a ticket to Seattle this summer.  Here are some of my future Clarion classmates' projects, which are what gave me the idea to do this ChipIn thing:


Cassi Krahe is selling her hair! so much hair! Ye be too late, 'm'afraid!
