By the time you read this, I’ll be flying to Raleigh, North Carolina to visit with friends at BOUCHERCON. I’ve never been to Raleigh so I’m looking forward to seeing a new city. I’ve attended about a dozen BOUCHERCONs. Sure, the free books, panels, and activities are fun. But I go to BOUCHERCON to visit with friends like Bill Crider, Jeff and Jackie Meyerson, Maggie Mason, Patti and Phil Abbott. I work ahead so I have blog posts for time I’ll be in Raleigh, but my responses to your comments might be a little sporadic. Next week, I’ll have my BOUCHERCON report for you.
Raleigh? Can you bring me back some cigarette coupons?
Dan, I’m sure Tabaco Road holds many great coupon deals. I’ll see what I can do.
Have a great time, George, but don’t let that wild crowd you mentioned corrupt you!
Jerry, it’s mostly going to be books and dinners with friends for me!
See you there, George!
Enjoy. I wish I could just magically drop in there for a few days and join you all.
Rub it in, Kelley, rub it in.
Raleigh coupons, remember? From the cigarette packs? Redeemable for merchandise.
The old joke: Guess what I got for 100,000 Raleigh coupons. Cancer.
Good one, Cap’n.
I did see George when he checked in at the Sheraton. A lot of us are down the street at the Marriott.
