Yeah, this has NOTHING to do with writing. My husband is a member of the sponsoring department and, well, philosophers really stink at PR, so this event hasn't had much press.
So, there you go, hon. A little more web presence for your department-sponsored event. :-)
And my UNPLUG...
I will be offline all weekend, but not by choice. We have no phone or DSL at home. Until Verizon sends a repairman, I won't have Internet access. So please see me as disabled rather than rude when I don't respond to comments.

I would never think of you as disabled or rude, just that life got in the way :)
ReplyDeleteTry to enjoy it as time off to do other things. We'll still be here when you get back.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! Is there *actual* food involved, though?
ReplyDeletePS - My husband was in Philly a few weeks ago for work and he loved it there!
Really, we love you and will be here when you return. Try to enjoy your weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the unrequested unplug. See the grace in it and do something unusual.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Laurel! :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend - it won't be hard to fill the hours. :)
ReplyDeleteWish I was in Philly - the conference sounds fun.
On the question of whether there will actual food - YES! Two scheduled refreshment breaks are included.
ReplyDeleteThere's an award for you on my blog, and I reposted the one from you. It was fun lying to everybody. :-)
ReplyDeleteBest wishes with the unplug. Maybe it will be more fun than you think:)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend,
Karen
Thanks, everyone. We somehow survived the weekend with no phone, though my hubby did get some spotty DSL here and there.
ReplyDeleteAlicia: thanks, I'll come check it out!
