The only way I can resist is the knowledge of certain death-by-teammate if I fail to attend netball tomorrow night. While I’m confident this would lead to zombification — and possibly wacky hijinks — I’m afraid I’m not quite ready to join the ranks of the undead yet.
I had a super-awesome time at your last Kino event, so I’m really sorry I can’t make it to hear all the wise and excellent things that you and Margo say.

I will even forgo the Trudy Canavan signing at Galaxy Books, just around the corner to attend (you author people need to get your calendars coordinated. Really and truly!)

oh dear me, I think I’m about to have a gushing session.
it was fantastic! I love it when you do a Kino event! It’s always so refreshing! Plus, to have had the incredible and amazing Margo Lanagan was a treat in itself!
I couldn’t stop talking about the event to all my book friends and now I think you are going to end up with even more fans, hurrah… albeit, they may be a little nuts… but not certifiable nuts… well, not yet.
Sadly, I completely missed the oh-so-exciting bookmarks as I was enticed by the event itself! Sigh. the tragedy of it all.
I’m sure the allure and excitement of bookmarks will bring me back to Kino for your next event! Thanks for doing the author talks as well as having a great online presence! It makes a huge difference to my daily (cough) procrastinating (when I say procrastinating, I actually mean work) routine!

Crazynaomi: I’m so sorry. There were no bookmarks because—and I’m REALLY ashamed to admit this—I forgot them. Yes, I suck.
I’m really pleased you enjoyed it despite my dreadful bookmark forgettage.
Yup, Margo’s totally fabulous. Not to mention Australia’s best writer.
I bet there will be more Kino events in future. Thanks so much for coming.
