SKEPCHICKCON TOMORROW OMG

convergence2013logo
On a scale of stoked, I’m like a 9.  All of the bestest people in the world are going to be at CONvergence.  I, of course, still need to pack.  I’ve spent all day editing my Podcast instead — it’s on iTunes now, which I think makes it official.

Goals for SkepchickCON:

1. Look professional on the panels

2. Convince awesome people to come on my podcast/show

3. Look fancy

4. Hang out with the awesomest people.

I have also found a new apartment in the DC area, so hopefully I will soon be back to making ukulele videos more regularly.  I am currently debating whether I should be taking my ukulele with me to Minneapolis or not.  Yeppers.

    My daughter and I enjoyed your panel on Heroines in YA literature. We are hoping you post a list of the books you mentioned (my daughter wanted to stop at the bookstore on the way home).
