I’ve just spent the day running around between Laramie and Denver collecting my portion of the Launch Pad Astronomy Workshop attendees.  I’m really excited.  I knew some of the attendees already, and really enjoyed meeting the others.  It seems like it’s going to be a very cohesive, motivated group ready to learn.  Jay Lake has blogged a little bit about his travel.  We had a minor snafu with Nancy Kress, but she finally made it in, exhausted.

I’m pleased to discover I’ve only scheduled myself lightly for day one.  Last year I was an insane lecturing superman.  This year I grew a brain and cut back by enlisting more help.

There’s always a million details to get straight, and they get done.  I am lucky enough to have great help, from co-founder Jim Verley to guest instructor Jerry Oltion to volunteers and staff like Scott Humphries and Nicole Wade.  It’s our goal to provide a high-quality experience for professional writers.

On the following days, I plan to blog about the activities and the goals behind them.
