YOUR CAR IS ON FIRE

[egypturnash]

I'm sitting here at the Museum cleaning out spam via the webmail while the back of my brain percolates on organizing some stuff.

Best spam subject line ever: YOUR CAR IS ON FIRE!

geeze, I miss the days before marketers and scammers got on the net. Along with everyone else. 148/1000 messages over the last few days were not spam, and a good third of the spam was in Russian or Chinese.

Meanwhile, in the past week, I have gone from vaguely thinking "gee, I should get my butt out to some cons" to having loose plans to attend three cons: AC, Rainfurrest, and Foolscap. (The last is a literary SF con, not a furry con, that aprivatefox has been trying to get me to show stuff in the art show of - which is also a week after RF. Which I am considering 'cause I got asked to come do a panel. Not as a GOH or anything so I gotta pay my own way. I will have to see who in Seattle would like to have me and maybe a boyfriend or two hang out for a week...)

This is on top of Absinthe and the art show* at the end of the year. Luckily the biggest project of the year has no firm schedule; Absinthe comes out when it comes out. Which is going to be "soon" for the first chapter, once I spend a couple days not letting myself from getting distracted from pencilling; that and finishing a couple more pages in AI will give me enough buffer that I feel confident I can run the whole first chapter on a two-pages-a-week schedule.

* memo to self: mail Ami when you get home so you can swap Bolton's piece for that print, and talk about the size of the spider show!

Ah! Well, if you pre-reg for Foolscap, you can probably become an un-comped panelist there, too. =) Have you been in touch with their art show yet?

Not yet; it's on my List Of Crap To Do This Week! (along with getting art show info for RF; I already got AC art show info because Nick bugged me to do so after we decided to answer the plea to do something post* for their conbook.)

busy, busy.

Let me make Foolscap info convenient:

Guidelines are here, and boil down to "This is juried, we want to see new work, it should be good." The jurists will accept you; a few of them saw the tarot and asked me to get you to submit to them. They suggest on the site that you email a URL for your website to them.

So, if you email Tina Klein-Lebbink at artshow@foolscapcon.org, and give her a link to http://egypt.urnash.com/Showcase/ and possibly also http://egypt.urnash.com/tarot/, that will be the necessary first step.

Now there's one less step of tracking-down URLs. =)

Yay! Thanks for collapsing my to-do list a few steps.
