Just out of curiosity, what kept you away from Motor City this year? Keira and I can't attend anyway (we have a little one on the way!), but we had so much fun last year that we're hoping there will be another Motor City meetup in 2009.

I had a couple of reasons for declining Motor City this year. The first is that April will be a busy travel month for me, with trips to Vermont, Oregon, and Poland and Sweden. I have to maintain my schedule for Usagi. The second reason is that for the past 2 years I had been invited to another con but have had to decline every year. Last year, the con was in May, and I thought it would be the same this year so wanted to keep that month open. As it turns out, the convention will be in April, so I won't be able to make it again. Hopefully next year.

If another invitation comes from Motor City next year, hopefully I'll be able to accept. It's a fun convention, and that Japanese restaurant Steve Hubbell found was superb.

Congratulations on your forthcoming addition to your family! We hope that all goes well.

As was the company! Keira and I will be savoring that memory for a long time to come
