There was another massive Progress Report catch-up mailing last night at the NESFA clubhouse, along with numerous other discussions on publications, logistics, Mended Drum decorations, First Night, and probably many others that I wasn't aware of.
Gay Ellen gave me the names of several artists who might be interested in First Night tables, so I sent out invitations. Already by this morning I've gotten replies from 5 artists who would like to do it, including this very nice response from Sophie Klesen that I'd like to share with you all:
"Hi leslie,
Count me in for the 7-9 hours :)
I'll bring silver wires and wax to demonstrate weaving/carving techniques and/or pigments for illuminated manuscripts (Don't know yet :p) but I'll prepare something :)
thanks for the opportunity, I'm so happy to go to this con that already seems amazing !
SoMK"
(If any of you have similar positive messages so share, let me know. I'm sure we can all use the morale boost as we go into these final weeks.)
Well....Positive messages she wants....
How about that Mark retrieved all my archived email after my computer threw it away.
I guess that's pretty positive....I am no longer gasping for breath, and the tic in my left eye is beginning to stablilize.
Grump.
