This morning we had a meeting to plan WisCon 22. WisCon is an annual Madison science fiction convention with a feminist emphasis. So I basically showed up to learn anything I needed to learn, and have a free bagel. But I try to contribute in some other ways, when I can. Maybe I'm just not fated to become a back-room SMOF type.
Borders is actually the best store in town for buying new books.
And on the west side of town is an excellent store named the Frugal Muse which sells used books, CDs and videotapes, and has the best prices in town. So I have no shortage of things to read or books to buy. I knocked down another 60 pages of John Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar , which is still merely okay. And that was my day.
