Provo Thiefcon is ON.

It will be next Wednesday evening, February 13th. We are currently securing a venue and finalizing details with Megan. An invitation will be posted tonight or tomorrow!

Oh, that is very exciting? But let me display my ignorance -- what does Provo mean? At first I thought it might be an abbreviation I didn't know for Providence, RI -- but I'm pretty sure it's actually some really faraway place.

In any case, for me, next Wednesday is difficult, because: 1. it's Ash Wednesday 2. I have a massive, long opera/choir rehearsal in the evening.

However, if I knew when it was, EST, and I had a few minutes free, and someone were to bring a computer so that I could skype you, maybe I could join in for a few minutes! And my sister Mary, too!

And in the meantime, we can start planning some kind of East Coast Thiefcon....(unless Provo is on the East Coast ;-D)

Provo, Utah, I think.

I think all my attempts to skype are cursed.

Oh, so I'm not the only one? I can't tell you how many frustrating Skype "conversations" I've had with one person's mic not working. Sort of like a pantomime.

I'd like to do more school visits by skype, but I'm afraid most schools don't have the reliable bandwidth and there's really something unsettling about looking at an author's giant frozen pixelated head. I don't think it encourages reading, you know?

Haha, I know exactly what you mean. And it never fails that when it freezes up the author has an open mouth or looks positively satanic.

If DWJ had a travel curse, you may have a technology curse to rival it.
Your techno-curse was enough to bring down all of LiveJournal last spring.

Please don't attempt online banking.

Too late!

I wish we could do something like that, but we won't be set up for it. I promise to give a full report, though!
