More Quick Notes
Today I did the following:
Exchanged emails with Kate Nepveu, who's handling the fundraising for Con or Bust!, to apply for monies for WisCon. She remembers me from Tor, and I've seen her LOTR re-reads.
Went to the library. Borrowed Postcolonialism: A Very Short Introduction by Robert JC Young (the first paragraph already gives me a REALLY GOOD feeling), the Colonizer and the Colonized by Albert Memmi and Beginning Postcolonialism by John McLeod.
Had a good chat with Jessica, who is currently Coordinator of the SMU Writing Center.
Lunched at Sushi Shige's, and had a good chat with Chef Shige too.
Found out from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
troubleinchina about Jaclyn Friedman's talk tonight. Freaked out. Napped. Went. For those who don't know, she edited Yes Means Yes! Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape. It's a truly visionary book.
Got Jaclyn Friedman's autograph ^__________________^ The talk was really fun and good too. I wishedtroubleinchina was there though. Friedman said "crazy" and "lame", and I was too scared to call her out on it during the talk. I did get to talk to her about it later though, and she apologized and was really awesome about it. She's giving another talk at Venus Envy tomorrow night, a shorter one, at 8pm. I might go to that one, if just to hang out with her some more. I dunno. It was neat. I met a lot of cool people. I might volunteer to help the Avalon Center set up some social networking stuff.
Anyways.
