*fist bump* LauraCon was sparsely attended but nevertheless awesome this year at #IL2009 Also met Lori Reed. What do you think, Ladies? Are Lauries and Loris LauraBrarians?
- Laura Norvig
As long as I don't get called Laurie/Lori, Lauren, or Laurel, I am down with having them on board.
- laura x
it was good to meet another of the Laurabrarians! Botts, you are just about the only one left ;)
- holly
laura x, my Laura could not. agree. with. you. more (re Laurie/Lori, Lauren, Laurel and other imitations ;)
- Micah Wittman
Feel free to include all the others! Yes, I'm going to have to get to one of these meetings at some point.
- Laura Lou Who
Well, we didn't really have a meeting. I introduced myself to ellbeecee and Laura Harris and that was the extent of LauraCon. Still, it was awesome.
- Laura Norvig
Yay for Lauras! I get called Laurie or Lauren by patients all the time. >.<
- Penguin It's Cold Outside
That makes no sense. Penguin sounds nothing like Laurie or Lauren. :-)
- Bruce Lewis
Wow, are you one of us, Penguin? I've never known you by any other name!
- Laura Norvig
Yep! I started going by Penguin online a while back... I feel so ashamed sometimes for hiding my Laura-ness! ;)

Names are weird. I don't know that I've ever truly owned mine. I don't love it and I don't hate it. I'm very indifferent towards it, really. Do you think there are people who love their own names?
- Laura Norvig
I love my last name, and I like the way my full name scans.
- laura x
I like your last name too! Your name could easily be a character in a novel.
- Laura Norvig
I'm not sure I knew you were a Laura, Penguin! Yay!
- Laura Lou Who
I'm not a Laura, or a librarian. Just a fan. Which means I'm your fan! Woo! Yay Laura!

Garrison Keillor sang "Tell Laura I Love Her" on PHC tonight, which made me remember the time he and Dave Barry did a duet of it. Sadly, I can't find anything but a record of its happening: http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/program...
Fwd: this morning I got to shake @ellbeecee's hand. Now sitting in a session where @ljharris is presenting. Squee! LauraCon is happening #il2009 (via http://friendfeed.com/lauran...)
I was really grokking your Walt Crawford poetry over lunch and a glass of Chardonnay yesterday. Beautiful. Made me want to write again. (Or try some mashups - unfamiliar territory for me.)
- Laura Norvig
Thanks! I am now going to recommend that everyone read it over a glass of Chardonnay. Probably helps it go down.

Have the original R&S on VHS somewhere, all of them. :) I launched in to the "Ice Cream Bar" monologue from "Space Madness" one day at the office - blank stares all around. :P

I'm envious! I have a few off-air episodes somewhere. Also two t-shirts, some boxers, and a jigsaw puzzle. :)

Wow, great pic - what a cool experience. I love his acting and he seems like a genuinely cool person (which, of course, is a silly thing to say about a celebrity you don't know. I did see him once in a cafe in Santa Monica).
- Laura Norvig
He was very nice. Of course, I was only around him for a few hours one afternoon, but he was friendly and actually chatted with me. My aunt sat out on the front porch with Jessica Tandy, too.

I've got no young me photos online yet, so this will have to do!
- ÉllbeeÇee
that's cool - I don't have one from the "take a picture of yourself right now" meme. Too self-conscious, or too lazy that week - probably both,
