Is anyone planning on going to Context 21 in Columbus, Ohio--9/26-9/28--? Check out their web site, www.contextsf.org, if you need more information. Brian Keene is the horror guest of honor along with a few others as well.

Speak up or forever hold your peace. Smile

Shroud is, in fact, HOSTING a suite party at Contest 21 with live music, bar, snacks, giveaways, and author and artists signings. I sincerely hope many of you can make it.

Also, if you are a Shroud author or artist, feel free to set up a table for sales/signings in the Shroud suite. Tom Straub our Issue 2 cover artists should be there, and Brian Keen has given me a tentative indication that he'll be stopping by time-permitting.

Let's build a buzz!

I wanna go so freakin' bad...

Alas, I'm just a grad student with no proverbial pot to piss in.

I can picture it now: Nate, with a belly full of gratuitous beer and a lampshade helmet, passed out on the floor for all party goers to kick their legs up on while they soak in some heat from the roaring log fire, like a polar bear rug. Shit, my pasty white midwestern complexion isn't too far off the spectrum from a polar bear anywho.

I'm going to try my hardest to scrounge up the cash. There's always a market for a kidney out there... somewhere.

Nathaniel: It just so happens that I'm looking for a kidney. To add to my collection of human organs. So if you can get to Context 21, I'll have my "medics" standing by...as long as you don't mind waking up in a tub full of ice the next morning. But hey, you'll have fun in the process!

Seriously, hope you can make Context 21.

I took a five year break from writing (long story) and am now just getting back into things. I haven't been to a con in years but hubbie and I have registered for this one.

Looking forward to re-connecting with some old friends.

bah, I wish I could be there. Stupid injury.

How about you guys throw a party here in Texas sometime? I know it's a bit out of the neighborhood but I'm more than willing to make sure that everyone gets as much bbq and Shiner as they can take!
