Well, since other people have alluded to or announced this already--

[kniteracy]

I was waiting for an official post to rmf or something to link to from here, but I am pleased, delighted, honoured and squeed beyond belief to announce that I'll be the International Guest at next year's Consonance, the Bay Area filk convention.

I'm really looking forward not only to attending Consonance for the first time, but also to going back to the San Francisco area. It's a beautiful part of the US, and I have friends there I miss very much and will really enjoy seeing again.

My fellow guests are Jeff and Maya Bonhoff, who are the Guests of Honour, and one of my favourite people ever, Kathy Mar, who will be Toastmistress. cadhla didn't tell me who the Interfilk guest for next year would be when she phoned me, but I'm sure we'll know soon enough.

It looks like I'll be visiting my native country at least once more. ;-)

Looking forward to being there. I very much enjoyed the BA when I visited for ConJose.

Would you believe...surrdave? Yup.

VERY cool!

Babe! See you there!

Congrats!

[kitespirit.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!
GoHs and Toastmistress are a great choice too :)

[katyhh.livejournal.com]

Yay! Great news :) And what a cool line-up of guests, overall :)

[tibicina.livejournal.com]

I was actually bouncing when they announced it. Next year is going to be the best Consonance /ever/.

[telynor.livejournal.com]

*grin*

It will be great to see you. I'm bouncy about the other guests, too.

So, do we get to take you to eat, or should we just bring In & Out?

[telynor.livejournal.com]

Depends on travelling schedules, which have yet to be firmed up. The weekend of the convention itself of course, I'll be busy with my adorable yet drooling fans, and I won't be able to step down off my pedestal even for a second. But we're definitely planning for me to be in SF longer than just the weekend, so the idea has possiHobeesbilities. Any chance of being shocked at how your children have grown?

Very cool; congratulations!

[mdlbear]

Many congratulations!! I'm looking forward to seeing you.

I've noticed that many cons (including GaFilk, Consonance, and many others old enough to know better) take months to update their web pages. Grump. Consonance never did get its schedule up on the web.

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sorry about that. Half the Gafilk concom this year turned around to help put on the UK con, which has led to delays in things. Ping me if you want the scoop on next year (I don't want to hijack Gwen's posting with other-con news *grin*)

Conga Rats!

[adamselzer.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

I'll have to try to make it out there next year.

[kendaer.livejournal.com]

Heh, and I was already contemplating seeing if I could get to Consonance (it'd be my first if I did) next year. This just increases my desire to get there.

[telynor.livejournal.com]

Of course I'd love to see you.

[robin-anadrith.livejournal.com]

Woot!!! congrats!

[billroper]

Cool! Hope you have as good a time as daisy_knotwise and I did this year!

[trektone.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

[tigertoy.livejournal.com]

Wow, congratulations! I never even think about trying to get to Consonance, but now I want to.

[telynor.livejournal.com]

It would be so great to see you again.

[faxpaladin.livejournal.com]

Congrats! Dates? 1st weekend in March again?

[karlht.livejournal.com]

Lisa was wondering why you typed "see you in 2007" in her birthday entry. How very cool!

[telynor.livejournal.com]

Yes; I meant to respond to that, but yesterday at work was *loooong*.

I hope I'll be able to see both of you. :)

Hi! I just wanted to say that I'm adoring "Box of Fairies." My (now-ex) boyfriend got it for me for Valentine's Day-- since I'd been wanting it forever-- and I'm loving it. :)

I was really glad to hear the news when Alan announced it. Welcome back to California! :{)}

You asked me to email you but I don't think I have your email address.
