Did you know that
there’s a Let’s Put on a Show subgenre in musical theater? (Why don’t people tap dance any more?)
The one who made
the most lasting impression on me (and lots of other people) was Mickey Rooney.
I’m not doing
musical theater, though, I writing mysteries, as are most of you reading this,
I suspect. What’s the equivalent in our field? Let’s put on a conference!
My former
critique team in Austin TX is doing just this on November 6th. They’ve had
great good luck getting local authors to donate time and talent and the sign
ups are going well. I predict a block buster event. Take a gander at what’s
going on:

Have you ever
thought about putting on an event like this? On this scale--or a bigger or
smaller one? These gals have been organizing this for months and have thought
of all the details, down to designing a logo for the event.
Hey, if you’re
anywhere near Austin, you might want to sign up to attend this. If not, you
might want to pay close attention and say, Let’s Put on a Conference!
