Packed and ready to go...

Well, as surprising as it may be, at 10:30pm on the night before our planned departure for the Baltimore Summer Antiques (and Book) Fair, I have finished packing the van (shhhhh, if you listen closely, you can hear it whimpering). I have, as usual, brought way too much...but we have a 10x10 foot booth and some extra space...so it should work.

We are really looking forward to this show. I was interviewed on local Balt. radio last week and by a very charming reporter from the Balt. Sun earlier today. The promoter appears to have done a spectacular job with the pr and marketing. Other than their decision to ask me to speak on Sunday, they have done a great job. Please come by and see us (Booth 620) and/or on Sunday to hear my seminar (no sucking lemons in the front row).

We will be (re)listening to Stephenson's, Snow Crash on the drive down. With luck, my back will stop spasming just in time to unload and set up (and start spasming again). 550 antique and book dealers for four days in Baltimore...hope to see you.
