Launch Pad Last Day
It’s the last day of Launch Pad, so I’m playing catch-up. This is not all the media that will be coming from it, just some of it. More will be coming, especially photographs. But for now, here are some videos shot by novelist and videographer Stacey Cochran. The first one is before the cut, and a bunch more are in the extended post: [kml_flashembed movie=”http://www.youtube.com/v/eF3QE6YEeXc” width=”425″ height=”344″ allowfullscreen=”true” fvars=”fs=1″ /]

Coordination…
It helps, when making big trips to see many people, to coordinate stuff. This week’s visiting is somewhat uncoordinated, and that means people are all scrambling and I’m getting double-booked and stuff. If I haven’t emailed you back yet, it’s because I was responding to an even more dire backlog of email.
