Notes:

This is a conference, ergo ticketed.

I'll be at the author's conference at the Southern Voices Festivals in Hoover, Alabama. I am told this is "basically Birmingham." This is my first event ever in Alabama. So, shit. Big deal, right? The author's festival is Saturday, and I will be appearing on two panels: one from 9:30 - 10:30AM at the Library Plaza Stage, and then one at 2:45 PM on the Library Theatre Stage. (Note the "re" - fancy.)

The conference is $40 (not including all the various fees they tack on). Lots of excellent writers will be on hand. I've heard nothing but great things about this event.

I hope not to ruin it.
