GenCon Indy, and Help Therefore

Coming up next week. Here's my schedule (I'll repost this as we get closer):

• Thursday, 8/13
  • roving, 11:00-12:00
  • roving, 5:00-7:00
  • event, 10:00-11:00 (location TBA)
• Friday, 8/14
  • roving, 10:00-12:00
  • roving, 3:00-4:00
• Saturday, 8/15
  • roving, 1:00-3:00
  • roving, 6:00-7:00
  • event, 10:00-11:00 (location TBA)
• Sunday, 8/16
  • roving, 1:00-3:00

"Roving" basically means I'll be wandering the convention center and singing for 15-20 minutes in any particular location. I'll probably do a lot in the dealers' hall and the long hallway outside it, but I plan to shlep upstairs as well.

Some plans have changed along the way. huskiebear is not able to join me as she had planned (it's all good, just sudden Real Life), and I could use a little help watching the table. If you're going to be at GenCon and you can help, please let me know here. If you can help a lot, and you happen not to have a badge, I might be able to wrangle you one of those as well. Thanks in advance.

"Goodness Me, Some Of My Fellow Republicans Are CRAZY! When Did That Happen?"

I'm a big fan of the blog First Draft. Passionate, excellent writing, particularly by the lovely Athenae.

Yesterday, the Washington Post published a column by Kathleen Parker about how the Repubs have become the party of the South, and how crazy they've become all of a sudden.

To which Athenae replies that it's hardly been all of a sudden.
