As some of you may remember from this time last year, I participated ever so briefly at the Ad Astra Fantasy/SF convention here in Toronto as a prize girl.
Well not only am I reprising my role, but this year I will also be sitting on a panel and doing a workshop for young people. If anyone is in town this weekend or is going, please let me know as I love to meet people in person (Ms. Hick can attest to that)!
So here's the info:
March 29th - 30th, 2008 - TORONTO, ONTARIO

Young Writers Workshop (Saturday March 29, 11am - Salon 243)*

Man, that sounds like fun!
However, my kids and I will be accompanying Daddy HIck to the recording studio to sweep up construction dust...
Everybody, go meet Adrienne and bring your kids!
I'd really love to attend one of these. But, y'know, opposite side of the country. And, well, not a writer, either.
