In March 2011, the theme of the annual conference of the International Association of the Fantastic in the Arts will be the Fantastic Ridiculous. The guests will be Terry Bisson, Andrea Hairston and Connie Willis. The theme might be the ridiculous in the literature of the fantastic, but the line-up is sublime. I haven't confirmed my attendance yet, but I'm blocking the time out anyway, just in case it turns out I can attend. #writerslife
