[Penguicon-Concom] Programming Meeting Scheduled

Aw, shucks....  

Seriously, though, Cathrynne Valente's fiance, Dmitri, will be at the con and he is a hoot.

I don’t know if it’d need a moderator, but the title would be “Living with Genius,” and we’d invite the children, spouses, housemates, pets (if they can talk), etc of some of our talent to talk about it. And share embarrassing stories. According to the wife of a favorite writer of mine “He says I can do these as long as I don’t tell the kumquat story. And trust me, there’s always a kumquat story.” Sarah Monette’s husband expressed interest in this. Cherie Priest’s husband sounds like he might be able to be talked into it. Randall Munroe’s roommate, Derek, has expressed a willingness to kind of do whatever we want him to. Tamora Pierce’s husband will also be coming, then we have
 our beloved Cathy Raymond. We also have Ferrett, whose wife is, I am convinced from reading his blog, a genius.

  FY,
  Molly
