Cat, you may want to update the Eventbrite information. Text at the top of the page says “MON, JUN 6 AT 7:00 PM, CHICAGO, IL”
The “Registration Required” link doesn’t seem to link to anything that lets me register. Maybe because I have an older computer? Or maybe because it’s a free event?
john M. Cowan: It’s working for me. (Have you considered waving a dead chicken over your computer?)
Some of the names have lost their first initials, at least on my tablet. (C.) J. Cherryh, (N.) K. Jemisin. Just happened to notice those two.
Mike Glyer: I’ll try that next. Let me check the freezer . . .
I went to this event when it was near me, and it is AWESOME. Go if you can.
I’ll be there (my name is un-hyperlinked for some reason, but it’s the same me) and would be delighted if any Filers present stopped by to say hi.
Matthew Johnson: Tell me what hyperlink you’d like me to use and I will add it. I control the horizontal. I control the vertical…
Actually, and this is important, NO REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. You do not have to get a ticket through EventBrite or anywhere else to get autographs. You just need to show up at the Red Lacquer Room of the Palmer House in Chicago on Friday, May 13, 2016 at 8:00.
Steven H Silver: That’s important to know. Thanks for the clarification.
I have updated the post.
Thanks. We’re trying to use EventBrite and Groupon to spread the word (the Groupon isn’t up quite yet) and help us get a feel for possible attendance.
Mike, the missing hyperlink isn’t your fault — it’s missing from the original SFWA listing for some reason. You’re welcome to add http://www.irregularverbs.ca if you have a moment.
