YOUR CAR IS ON FIRE

egypturnashI'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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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!

Oh, and this year we're giving out prizes to people who convince others to attend Foolscap for the first time. Mention aprivatefox when you sign up!
