I’m going to D*C as well.  If I see him, I’ll say “Hi” for you. 

BTW, he wouldn’t happen to know of anyone who has spare floor space for two unlucky saps whose friends all bailed on D*C after they had already bought their tickets would he?

I don’t know if he does or not, but he may end up reading this so if he does know he might chime in.

No spare floor space, I’m afraid, but I must offer a little clarification on what I’ll be doing at Dragon Con.  With the author’s permission, I will definitely be reading “The Porcelain Salamander,” by Orson Scott Card (aloud--watching me read it silently would be pretty boring) as a performance piece.  Just me, no one else, like listening to an audio book but with smells if you’re close enough.

Not to be confused with my friends at the Atlanta Radio Theater Company, who will be there as they are every year, with--I think--performances scheduled for Friday and Saturday night.  The ARTC do fully cast live radio drama, and are really good at it.  I’ve performed with them before, and might again at this event, I’m not sure how it’ll end up, but what the ARTC does WON’T be anything in connection with Orson Scott Card.

The short story is one I’ve done before with a lot of positive feedback.  It’s really a chance to see me do something that’s not restricted by the confines of anime, yet not a “Man of 1,000 Voices” tour de force either.  Just an excellent little fable told well, I hope.  It’s my favorite story by OSC, too.  I’ll have CD’s on hand to sell of some Edgar Allen Poe after the performance as well.

Thanks Les, for mentioning it, and congratulations on beating your blogathon goal!

Thanks Michael and sorry about messing up the description of what you were up to. It was late, my brain was fried and I jumbled things up.

Again folks, if you get a chance to see Michael at the Con be sure to say hello!
