ConFluence Confirmed

It is official: I will be at ConFluence in Pittsburgh. However, I won't be getting there until Saturday afternoon. Friday-into-Saturday midnight, after all, is HBP Day....

So, how and when are you getting HBP, and how soon do you think you'll read it? (As I mention in comments, I'm picking it up Friday night, and I'm also getting the book on CD so I can listen to it to and from ConFluence. I hope to have it finished by the time I get home Sunday.)

YAYYYYY!

The Muppet Show Season One comes to DVD August 9.
