Fringe!
Repository Fringe has a mostly fleshed-out schedule up.
Y’know, I could fall flat on my face and this would still be an awesome two days. I am ashamed to admit how much better that makes me feel. (Me? Nervous? Well, um… yeah, actually.)
Don’t panic, y’all; I have twenty-odd slides and most of the patter done. I respect and admire the people who do rapid-fire heavy-image slideshows, but it’s not quite my style yet. My visual sense is so atrophied that it takes a lot of time and work for me to find images I like and use them well. Still, my shows have been getting prettier over time, and I like this one for a certain coherence (though not boring unanimity) of visual approach.
And there’s stuff in there that will unquestionably be novel even to people who follow CavLec and have read Roach Motel. And I think I’ve pitched it at a good place, a hopeful place, a place that should (I hope!) spark some hallway conversations and send people out with some ideas and the confidence and enthusiasm to work on them.
If I can do that, I’ll be happy with it.
