No, the log was for Pete and Repeat. Er, just don't go with the blonde jokes. There will be blondes there and they won't find them funny. Mayhaps you can just plug them for who they think should star in your "movie version" of Possession. Yeah, that would get the conversation rolling.<br /><br />Hoping your talk is very fun and I look forward to learning more about query writing at NiNoCon.
