YAY! I’m very much looking forward to seeing you out there. It’ll be like old home week.

I also just got accepted! See you there!

Oooo…. That actually is a good premise. And then ALIENS come and threaten to blow up the world! But the SF writers stop them through a cunning use of exposition and handwavium!

Congrantulations. Have a good time. Dress warm. Lets see … a small group of writers who know each other … isolated in the mountains far away from civilization. I expect at least an interesting story for the rest of us who don’t get to go.

Thank you! I don’t know why this string of good fortune is happening, but I won’t complain about it. And don’t worry, I will report in full.

I will tell you all, although it won’t be the same as OSC’s BootCamp.

What?! See the elusive captain, Dr. Livingston in person? I hear he’s a recluse.

You know, 2008 seems to be turning out to be the year of Mary ;D.

This is wonderful–congratulations! I hope you have a wonderful time and I do hope you’ll tell us all about it.

Thanks, Matthew. I plan to. I mean, big telescopes!

Hee hee. Laramie, Wyoming, actually.

That’s fantastic!! I can’t wait to find out how it all went!

I’ve said it elsewhere, but congrats, Mary. You’ll love it – and I may just see you around Laramie. I’ll be in the vicinity, as it turns out.

I’ll let you know all about it.

Blast off!

By: Mary Robinette Kowal

Mary Robinette Kowal — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 23:23:26 +0000

Rumor has it that they try to mix pro, neo-pro and newbie up. Maybe next year.

Congratulations, Mary! Have a great time!

Nah, but I doubted I would. I am unpublished and I dashed off my application in three seconds to meet the deadline. Perhaps next year. Lord knows I need to learn my astronomy.

Canaveral or Huntsville? ^_^

Have you heard anything yet?

No puppets.

Many thanks!

That’s great! I would love to do something like that. I’ve been into astronomy since I was a little kid also. Sounds like it will be a blast.

I feel very lucky.

I do! We were giggling about it via IM last night. I’m really looking forward to seeing her.

Congratulations! Have a blast!

Congratulations! I applied but I suspect I shan’t get in as I am a nobody.

Will you use a puppet to ask question or do you ask them? And will the puppet get its own blue jumpsuit?

Do you know who Deanna Hoak is? She also got accepted to the Workshop. Good people.

As far as me: green with envy!

I took astronomy in high school then in my senior year in high school in college as well. I also spent time at UCLA down in their plasma lab (not blood…star stuff, held in a magnetic field *shiver*).

I always wanted to go to spacecamp in Huntsville as a kiddo. It was my dream to be an astronaught. I guess I’ll have to settle for space cadet. :0
