Recorded a three-hour podcast session with Jed Hartman and Benjamin Rosenbaum this morning — oof. We were talking about drafting and revision and workshops and I guess we had a lot to say. It’s so great, talking with them, but I’m also always kind of drained afterwards — it’s intense, sort of like attending a […]

The Illinois Arts Council has awarded the SLF a grant for $1700, which will be a big help as we continue to build out the Portolan Project. Huge thanks to our Development Director, Cee Gee, who battled through Covid to get our application in on time. (The first time we were applying for an IAC
I had an idea for the SLF for Halloween, and I just know I don’t really have time to organize it. But if someone else wants to take the lead, or a few people, I could help. The idea is a few hours (or several hours, or 24 hours) of Halloween ‘programming’. We’d have a

Today we’re in slightly surreal virtual convention land, as I am a program participant for two conventions at once! Worlds colliding! My NASFiC programming starts today, and I’ll simultaneously be hosting events at Fiberworld. Well, not quite simultaneously — I’ll be ducking out of tonight’s fashion show to be on a NASFiC panel, and then
