Scholarly Life of a Committed Technofile

So this past weekend, 1/26-28/07, I flew down to Corpus Christi to meet with the newly elected board members of the Science Fiction Research Association (SFRA). And I’ll be honest, I’m still asking myself how the hell I got myself elected to the executive board, as secretary non-the-less? Yeah…I worked hardest this weekend in the sense I was tip-tapping at mini-me the entire time we met.

However, I’m really excited about what we discussed, some new plans we’ve made, and the line up of conferences for the next couple years:

• 2007—Kansas City w/the Heinlein Con
• 2008—Dublin (start saving your pennies folks)
• 2009—Atlanta @ Georgia Tech (and Lisa Y. has some cool stuff planned)
• 2010—Phoenix/Tempe (Craig and I will being playing it up, this conference you will make contact)

As for the other cool things, I need to wait until the President makes some announcements on the listserve before I go blabbering here.

Some pics of us both hard at work, and playing a little as well.

Finally, this trip is what has allowed me to play massive catch up with blogging. I’m hoping that this really helps with sustaining my writing and publishing on a regular basis.
