would love to go so I can finally meet you Rach
Dina, that would be awesome! You could try out your new car on a road trip! woohoo!
Shame I could not attend. KY is not that far from West Virginia but alas no working vehicle means Rao cannot go to places.
oh I would love to meet you too, wish there was a place we could all go
Would love to go to this but there is no way I can this weekend – don’t live near there
I wish I could go! I’m not horribly far away, just across the river in Ohio. But unless I start walking right now, I’m in the same boat as Raonaid. No car means no long distance travel.
I swear we should rent a bus so we can get to these things!
I can’t go but I hope someone lets us know which awesome authors they get to great and meet
Lisa, we will be sure to give you a report.
I wish I could be there. Send Spike my love.
Love to be there just no bucks to get there!
I’m not able to attend as I’m in Europe, but I’d love to!
I’ll be there. Look forward to meeting you.
