The annual, four-day SCBWI Summer Conference starts tomorrow! For some of us, it starts tonight—with some pre-conference karaoke (woo hoo!!). And for some, it started yesterday.
But I'm not actually attending this year! For the first time in over a decade. Because I'm pregnant. Due in a few days.
Still, the baby isn't here yet. So now (in addition to karaoke-ing tonight) I'm hoping to stop by and say hi to the many good friends who will be in town, get coffee, hang out . . .
The other reason I'm not attending this year is that SCBWI discontinued my Summer Conference photography arrangement with them of several years. (It's nothing personal. There have been some shifts in the main office, and the new crew is not as aware of the work I've done for them. Alas.) But the fact that I'm pregnant is a much more cheerful reason.
I hope to see many of you there.
I will see many good conference friends at karaoke tonight—Woo hoo!! My husband is bringing our new video camera, hoping to capture me shaking this pregnant belly to some inspired hip hop (which is so wrong.) This will definitely be his last chance.
Unless . . . I make an appearance at the SCBWI party Saturday night . . . ?? The theme is "Black and White," and this body is perfect for a penguin . . .
I'm just sayin'. ;)

P.S. Time permitting, I may still post a few informal pictures from around the fringes of the conference, afterward. There look to be some promising goings-ons this year.
So check back!
