Travel plans
Tomorrow we're off to Greenbelt, the Christian arts/music/everything festival we go to every year. For the first time Sparkler's taking a friend with her, which is fun, but comes with Added Responsibility. Specially as said friend is vegetarian and has a nut allergy. But I think it'll be really good for Sparkler. Thirteen is too old to be stuck with your family all the time! Next year we've said Gloworm can bring a friend too.
Anyway, so we're off to camp on a race course for four nights, and eat falafel and fresh doughnuts and crepes and - ooh, pies, I just remembered the pies! And drink excellent fair-trade coffee. And go to interesting talks and events.
I'm also very pleased, because for the RNA conference 2010 I'm going to be going partly as a representative of Samhain, and giving a seminar on epublishing in general and Samhain in particular. Samhain should have lots of interesting new developments by then (none of which I can talk about yet!). And hopefully another Samhain staff member will be coming too, so no one has to listen to Immi Immi Immi for a whole hour.
It's been so sad to lose Angie James, but a positive effect is that new opportunities are opening up for other staff members - and the editors are all leaping into the Angie-shaped gap in an impressive and wonderful way. It's never exactly been dull at Samhain, anyway, but now does feel like a particularly exciting time to be part of the team. I remain insanely proud to be working there.
This is relevant to the blog post title, by the way, but my third bit of travel-related news is so exciting I'm going to have to save it for another post. And until I've squee-ed at MG and Dayna.Labels: business, family, RNA, samhain publishing

Squeeeeeeee! So excited for you and all your news. You deserve stuff like this.
Enjoy the festival. Fingers crossed for the weather!
Looking forward (already) to hearing Immi Immi Immi at Greenwich next year.
