So here's the deal: I'm going to give OMG WriterCon 2008!!!11 AWP a shot in spite of the no badge thing. As a friend said, what's the worst that can happen? I spend some time in New York (which I should do more often, anyway).
Since the Bookfair is open to the public on Saturday, that's one of the days I'll be there for sure. I'm thinking I may also come down on Friday. There's a panel or two I'd like to see...if you are an MFA student who would like to rent me your badge for a couple of hours, email me. Otherwise, my plan at this point is to cook up some sort of elaborate Brady Bunch/Three's Company/Bosom Buddies type caper, and hope for the best.
Anyway...the reason I'm posting this at all is because if you're going to be there, I'd really like to say hello to you. Yes, you. I don't get a lot of chances to talk to litbloggers or writers or even nerdy readers outside of the confines of Gmail or AIM. So feel free to drop me a line (gnomeloaf at gmail or AIM) if I should stop by your table/event/whatever.
(By the way: Erika's got a terrific list of non AWP literary events in NYC that week. AWP has one, too.)
Well, I won't be there, but say hi to my pal Leslie at the Green Mountains Review booth!
