Urban Tapestry invited to Balticon as Musical Guests of Honor!

Allison posted about this in her LJ, so I'm assuming that she got official word that it's ok for us to publicly announce this...


EXCITING NEWS: Urban Tapestry has been invited to be the Musical Guests of Honor at Balticon on May 23-26, 2008. Balticon is the Maryland Regional Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention, the area's largest and longest running convention of its kind and is attended by over 2000 sf/fantasy fans.

WOOHOO! And we'll be celebrating our 15th anniversary as a group next year! Many thanks to Gary for recommending us to the convention committee.

This past year, the Musical Guests of Honor were Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff, and the Guests of Honor were authors Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle as well as artist Joe Bergeron and Special Guests from Farpoint Media and Compton Crook winner Maria Snyder. The convention had over 300 hours of multi-track programming featuring authors, publishers, editors, artists, and scientists, among others. The Balticon Web site should be updated soon with info about the guests next year; I'm looking forward to finding out about the Author and Artists Guests Honor.

[UPDATE: Looks like Connie Willis will be the Author Guest Of Honor at Balticon 42 next year.]

I'm especially excited because judging from the schedule from this past year, it looks as though Balticon has a great programming track for sf/fantasy writers.

Hope to see some of you there! For more info about the convention, please see the Balticon Web site (info to be updated to 2008 soon, I hope!).

But meanwhile, check out the cool new bookshelves that Jeff installed in my office, using Umbra's 'Conceal' bookshelves.



I love the illusion that the books are floating in my office tree.




I still need to paint the overhanging lampshade, but I'm thinking that my little reading corner is lookin' pretty good these days. Check out the lava lamp, too! There's been two more fun additions to my office, and I'll post pics once I've finished them...
