Reading: Singularity Sky by Charles Stross
Music: Rock Against Bush, Vol. 2
TV/Movie: Monk, season one
Link o' the Day: efanzines.com

And worldcon doth approach! And the preparations are many. Copies to be made. Issues of the SFWA Bulletin to box up. Copies of Bearmanor Media books and promo matter to bring along. Clothes. Sundries. Film.

I managed to get a cheap hotel situation. I have contact names. Plans. I have a couple of scheduled meals. All in all, this should be a pretty kick-ass con.

Most of the prep in these few days left leading up to convention time are going to be full up with working on freelance assignments. Books, articles, advertisements, postcards, the works. I’m pretty much going to be working like a madman right up until convention time.

If anyone is doing any readings or gatherings I should know about, feel free to speak up.

Looking forward to seeing journalscapers and readers later this week!
