Registered!

I was not sure if I could go, but hubby said go for it. We're still in the process of moving house and me being gone is a logistic problem with the pets.

So glad I can go after all.

I have the exact same problem except we haven't found a place yet. I'll be much further away, but I don't care. I need to be there! I'm glad you're going to!

Are there any plans to meet up Friday night before the conference for meet and greet?

There is plans for a Friday free public reading event at Hugo House from 7pm - 9:30pm that will feature some attending authors. :-) I'll chat with HH to see if they have space for a meet-up before then.
