Kit O'ConnellKit O'Connell - LiveJournal.comFlipside Thanks- May 29, 2008 This Flipside was one of the most personally difficult for me yet, but at the same time I am moved and amazed by what a powerful experience it was &8212; one which in retrospect was incredibly positive; I think even the parts in which I was miserable will teach me a lot. And socially, communally, spiritually it was a powerful event, with an effigy (and Burn) the likes of which has not been seen since the days of our great departed Monkey God. Some specific thanks: Thanks to all the Rangers,...http://todfox.livejournal.com/665605.html Eposia&8217;s Crosstime Saloon Flipside 2008- May 20, 2008 Eposia&8217;s Crosstime Saloon will return against the odds to Pyropolis in 2008.

I had a fantastic time and learned a lot (you can read my notes here). So it gives me great pleasure to announce that I will not only be returning to this year&8217;s event &8230; but also presenting a paper, &8220;What is the 21st Century Novel&8221; with my co-author Reesa Brown!
