Quick Post from NY

[sharan]

As you may have figured out by now, I'm in NY for Spring Break right now. While being awake and not tired at hours when I really should be asleep (except that I'm still on L.A. time) I just managed to catch up on my friends list here so I thought I'd make a quick post (besides, I wanted to see if the LJ way of posting to Facebook works so I can use my Notes section for Rockers Online instead).

Last Sunday I went to the 40th Anniversary of the Science Fiction Forum at Stonybrook and had a great time! I saw a lot of people I hadn't seen in a long time, although some I would have really liked to have seen were strangely absent (even a couple that lived locally). I even took a few pictures, which I posted here on Facebook. BTW, for the LASFS members out there the Science Fiction Forum is a lot like LASFS, just with students:).

Over the next few days I'm trying to meet up with a few friends I haven't seen in a long time, and then Friday I head up to Lunacon to see even more people. It should be a fun time! I was sorry to miss last year when they returned to the Escher Hilton, so I'm glad I could make it this year (and it's still there).

Well, I'm finally starting to get a little tired so I think I better get to sleep:).

Yeah, I'm on the list! I'm way behind on e-mail but I have been trying to keep up on that thread at least.

Yeah, I'm sure moving the forum seriously disrupted any plans for this:(. It's too bad that had to happen now (or at all from what I'm hearing about the whole thing). I can definitely understand wanting to get Jim Frenkel! It is too bad there wasn't enough time to plan it better, though. I think even people who LIVE on Long Island may not have heard about it and weren't there (i.e.,where was Gary Halada?). JAM said he only heard about it a week before it happened, and he WORKS there.

Let's just hope the 42nd works out!
