Interfictions 2 Reading in Second Life

This evening, at 6pm Pacific (9pm EST) I am attending the Interfictions 2 Second Life Salon (SLURL: <ahref="http://slurl.com/secondlife/pini/16/222/42">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Pini/16/222/42). I created an avatar in Second Life specifically for the event and was fortunate enough to get a cool name: Pemala Galaxy (Pamela Galaxy was already taken; last names are limited to specific lists by Second Life; http://www.slnamewatch.com/ gives you a bit more control over your last name than the Linden Labs option).

The panelists include:
- Delia Sherman (co-editor)
- F. Brett Cox (Nylon Seam) – Read Online at the Annex
- Cecil Castellucci (The Long and Short of Long-Term Memory)
- Carlos Hernandez (The Assimilated Cuban’s Guide to Quantum Santeria)
- Will Ludwigsen (Remembrance is Something Like a House)
- Ray Vukcevich (The Two of Me)
- Tammy Domike (host, Jackson Street Books)

I'll post more after the event, although I can't promise is will be tonight.

Oh I **love** Ray Vukcevich's work! I hope he's wonderful in person (e-person?); I've loved the two flash things I've seen by him, and it makes me want to read more by him.

*remembers that an update must be posted*

Oh, I wish I'd heard him. Due to technical difficulties user error (I didn't have the right toggle toggled) I missed all but one of the readings. But, I did get to hear the panel discussion, and there was music afterward, to which many of us danced. (Thanks to Michele, one of the organizers, who gave dance patterns to those who didn't have them.) There's supposed to be a recording of the session somewhere, too.
