We were on NPR! The 6:50AM airing of Marketplace had the Mount Airy Lodge story. Matthew and I were on it! Wheee! The reporter, Aries Keck, said she’d send us an MP3 of the story after it aired. Looking forward to getting that so I can play our couple seconds of coverage over and over again. Well, maybe just once.
Also heard back from my Daily Dragon network person. He isn’t returning to my staff this year. He’s not going to Dragon*Con for various and sundry personal issues. That means I’m out a network guru. Crap. I should probably ask for one at the staff meeting this weekend. Or I could just do without this year and glomp on the guys in photography to fix things for me when they break. That’ll probably work out just as well. But I liked having someone on call that I could page 24/7 during the convention. Hmph.

Writing Stuff
Received: 9-day “nice writing here but” from JJA at F&SF. Sigh.
Words: 500 – Approaching the climax on the Chinese fairy tale. Should finish it today. Then I’ll give it a couple editing passes, foist it on Matthew, and toss it up for Critters to maul.
500/day

Mt. Airy lodge story? As in Mt. Airy, NC?
😀
Mt Airy Lodge as in the resort in the Poconos!
Ahhh..I was thinking pork chop sandwiches and Opie! Silly me! 🙂
Damn! I heard the Mt. Airy story, and heard them quote someone in “Alphretta, Georgia” but didn’t hear the name and didn’t remember it was you and Matthew. Damn!
Did you get to bathe in the heart-shaped tubs?
Yepper! Had a heart shaped tub in our room, as well as an indoor swimming pool, fireplace, and round bed. Verrry decadent!
That’s too cool. 🙂
It so is! I’m a huge fan of NPR!
Matt and Eugie on NPR
Heard Matthew and you on NPR while I ate breakfast. Didn’t expect to hear you on Marketplace!
Re: Matt and Eugie on NPR
Woo! You heard us on the radio! That is just too cool. Radio fame!
