Ok, OK...stuff is going on, things happening

[kinzel]

So yes, some stuff is going on. Some of this has been in the works for months... we try not to get too far ahead of ourselves in announcing things since experience shows that things sometimes change with little warning... things are like that!

but....

One thing:

you can see our webscription page now... if you've a mind to. ... I'll note that the more people who click on the link, the higher up it goes in the search engine count. Since there's about 81000 things to choose from under Liaden, a click above will make it easier for folks to find the new things and give the old ones a rest...

Another thing:

yes, we've been asked (and have agreed) to do a Liaden story -- a novella -- for Jim Baen's Universe. No, it won't come out in March.

Boskone: still no program schedule for that, sorry. We're trying to figure out where we'll eat, being we have word from some fans that there's not much eating within walking distance. Hints, anyone?

Meanwhile, the low temp i saw myself was -11 F... just at sun up. Right now my handy dandy electronic outside thermometer tells me we have a sizzling +2 now that the sun is beating down on the back deck. Twenty minutes ago, when the shade was still in force, it was -2 F.


Version 2.4 ... sigh...

Late in the day the temperature got up to 7.8 degrees but has fallen back to 3 degrees F...and I've updated a couple our web pages to link to the Baen webscription page cited above. We're looking for a low of about 10 below zero and then a milder day tomorrow, followed by snow late tomorrow night and into Friday.

There are a few places around there; if anything, I think there are more options than at the new Arisia hotel. There's a panini place that moved down there from Central Square, which I haven't tried in their new spot but liked quite a bit when it was in Cambridge, and there's Legal Test Kitchen.

I wonder if I can get the french toast without the banana?

You might want to get dinner at the No-Name Restaurant, on Fish Pier, assuming you like seafood.

From the maps that looks like a cab-drive if the weather stays winterish... oh sigh. Sea food I can handle, as long as it's not Clam Chowdah, and not raw.

It's half a mile or so, which is about how far I had to park from the Arisia hotel on Friday. Whether that's "far" depends on how cold it is -- if it's 6 F with wind, as presently, then it's quite far. But if I were going to bother getting a cab, I'd probably go to the North End instead.

Crepes ... that'd make a nice breakfast...

I will have my car with me should you wish to plan a foraging trip.

Not to sound greedy, but after the BOOKS all come out, will the STORIES (from the chapbooks) ever be made available as Webscriptions? I own several of the chapbooks, and am happy to buy the Companion books (though i've been poor, and haven't yet) -- but Liaden is such "comfort reading" for me that i'd ALSO love to have it on my Palm! *All* of it, if possible!
