I'll be at Kawaii Kon April 14-16. I don't know if there is anybody from Hawaii on the boards, or if they are attending the con.
However, if there are, is there anything in particular you would like me to bring? You can either e-mail me, or post it here.
The next signing for me is at the LA Times Festival of Books on April 29. I will be at the Heritage Source booth. Carolyn also does mail order to anywhere in the world, so if you would like any signed books (such as the new Art of UY trade) this is a good time to order them.

Bring me! Bring me! I can take your bags, make your coffee in the morning (or tea or scotch or whatever you drink
) and more importantly I can keep the slobbering hordes of fanboys at bay!!!
BRING ME!

Ahh, Hawaii. Wish I could come but, alas, I cannot.
My parents went to Maui last October. They didn't take me along, but they did bring my seven-year-old neice. I'm still bitter.

I have a friend who's been to San D Con a number of times, but now is stationed over in Hawaii with the military. She plans on being at the Con!
I sent her the info just in case she might think of something, otherwise she'll be visiting the booth anyway!

I returned to the Main Land this morning after a grand time in Hawaii. Kawaii Kon was a lot of fun. It was just their second convention. Last year's attendance was 1,900. They surpassed that figure the first day of the convention. It took place at the Ala Moana Hotel, right next to the Ala Moana Shopping Center where I would go to pick up bento lunches at Shirokiya department store.
I'm glad to see that the Star Bulletin interview was also offered online. Jason, the writer, was at Kawaii Kon, and he gave me a copy of the newspaper.

Drats I have been away from these boards too long--I would have been happy to find a copy of those for you had I known beforehand.
