Smack in the middle of RT, I’m flying up to Princeton to take part in a closing plenary at the Love as the Practice of Freedom? Romance Fiction and American Culture conference. Check out the schedule. No, specifically, the plenary I’m on:
5:30-6:30 Closing Roundtable: Romance Reads the Academy
* Michelle Buonfiglio, blogger and reviewer (Romance: B(u)y the Book)
* Sarah Wendell, blogger and reviewer (Smart Bitches, Trashy Books)
* Diane Pershing, romance author, President, Romance Writers of America (2008-2009)
* Monica Jackson, author, paranormal romance; contributor to “Blogging in Black” and other author websites
* Krisa Stroever, editor, Harlequin Books
Attendance is free. So come on down. You know you wanna.
But..um. Uh… I think the dude at the top is on fire.
I saw Backdraft; that guy is definitely on fire. Congratulations on the plenary (had to look that one up). You’ll wow them with your erudition.
I go to Rutgers, so I seriously think I will be attending this conference. Congrats!
And yes… that guy is totally on fire.
Yeah, dude, don’t stand so close to the fireplace when you’ve been eating cabbage, or beans, or whatever that was. Srsly.
I wish I could just “come on down” to Princeton, because I totally would. But it’s a little far to go from NorCal *sigh*. You, Jennifer Crusie, Eloisa James and Sarah Franz all at an academic conference? That will rock!!
Well, since I work on that campus, I guess I’m actually out of excuses for skipping a conference, eh? I want to meet Sarah, anywho!
you mean I can take the train to this and justify it by visiting my parents? Sold!
I wanna. I wanna. All I have to do is juggle the kids, the job, oh and the hubby but he’s easy. 😉 Let’s see Princeton is only two hours from where I live. That’s doable.
