You’re probably not interested. Sorry for bothering you. [carefully studies nails] If you’re, like, not busy that weekend, or whatever, you can learn more about it here.

No big deal. (It’s the weekend of April 18 [not that you care {you probably already have plans}]).

    Well, it will be a short panel, because we all know women can’t be funny. Something to do with the uterus, I don’t know.

      Dude. What. Don’t wanna drive? Get thee to Oceanside. Metrolink Weekend Pass, all day ten bucks. Or take Amtrak. Then the Expo Line.

    Wonderful use of parentheses! Wish I could go. Man, warmth *and* funny women? Heaven!

    If I weren’t already scheduled to be playing nerd music in Toronto that weekend, I would CANCEL ALL MY PLANS AND FLY TO LOS ANGELES.

    But, but, but, Mallory, I was already in LA two weeks ago! Couldn’t they have had this then? #inefficient

    I actually know (read: met a couple times and once crashed a house party belonging to) Ann Friedman, and of course everything Mallory does is glorious, so obviously this entire event was crafted for me and thank you for that.

    Sometimes, weekend grad school schedule isn’t awesome.

    You are all required to go to this for me, and report back with pictures and awesomeness.
