Yay! Conga rats, d00d! W00t and so forth!

One suggestion: try to have your wife come up and visit you at least once while you're there. Six weeks is a long time to spend apart, and Clarion has seen more than a few marriages break up (though for different reasons).

You're going to have a great time.

Thanks, Jason. Yeah, our 5th anniversary is going to hit during Clarion, so there will definitely be some plans.

Alex.

I look forward to reading your work in class!

Thanks, Steve. Ditto, assuming I'm meeting my first classmate? (perusing your site I note your novel sale and your knowing one of our instructors. Congrats! you've got me jealous of both accomplishments.)

Great to meet you either way and looking forward to it!

Hi ~ Steve Berman found your blog through my journal - I found your name at Speculations earlier today, and added it to the list of fellow classmates for East 06. Below is the link, if you want to find out who else is attending. It looks like we're going to have an incredibly strong (and rather eclectic!) class. I look forward to meeting you this summer!

Sweet. Nicetameetcha too and nice detective work in digging so many of us up so quickly.

Congrats, Alex! Great news!!! And best wishes on that Asimov's rewrite. Sweet.

Congrats, Alex! I saw your name on a list of Clarion attendees and recognized it from back in my days of reading "Undersweet". Have a great time!

Hey Cavan. Thanks for your note. I hope to have a new comics announcement shortly.
