From the critic’s corner:
Turn up the volume to hear your dulcet tones…
NO! Turn it down. (love the music but so loud…)
40% show
60% no show (blackness for 1.5 minutes of a 2.25 show)
(and please turn more slowly so we can read your t-shirt.)
we want more.
no more blank blackness
we want more conference stuff
more is coming, right?

Darn. I forgot that SLJ doesn’t recognize carriage returns. All those phrases that I lined up, one below the other, simply look like nonsense in the SLJ comment box. sorry. -wendieO
>sigh< Yes, I know. I didn't get a chance to cut off the music, so the video goes on longer than it should. It's no excuse but I edited and cut that puppy together in the one hour I had free between conference events. Had I more time I'd have done better (supposedly). The shirt reads "I Read Kidlit" which is bound to enrage readers who dislike the term, but whatchagonnado? Better edited conference videos to come.
I loved your t-shirt, the green glasses and Lainia’s pink hair that seemed to match her shirt perfectly. Of course I loved it all! Thanks for coming.
Thanks for including me! My boots, necklace, and glasses, that is. Woot! You, m’dear, were the fashion plate though.
I love it! What a fun conference. Thanks, Betsy, for coming out and showing us how blogging (and punch drunk) is done right.
That’s hilarious! From the look of everyone’s pictures and the words of everyone’s blogs, I think it’s safe to say the con was a success. Wish I could have attended!
Hey, love that music! Good times all around. Thanks for including me and my green garb in there! That ninja shirt is the best.
