Hoorah!

My abstract got accepted to the Whoniverse Conference!

I'm on the technology panel, which rocks.

This means I'm a) officially an A-1 nerd and b) officially an academic!  I might also be c) officially insane, because the conference is in Cardiff.  But I'm also d) looking for flights to Wales, and they're not that pricy.

I've got months and months to prepare, and to figure out what the heck one does when one presents* at a conference (thucyken , piratefanatic : expect many emails), and plan another day of standing in line at the RSC to buy tickets to see David Tennant in Love's Labours Lost on the tail-end of its run.  Hey, a girl can dream.

whoniverse_conf  has updates about the conference.

I'm going to run around and tell everyone at the office now.  :D

*about the convergence of avant-garde and commercial forms of electronic music in the early days of the medium; more accurately the way the work of the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop (peopled by innovators and then-cutting-edge sound artists) reached a large audience through being the ambient noise and background music of classic Doctor Who episodes...

YAY, YOU! \o/ That is excellent. I wish I could go see you present! (You may have to come visit me and give a private pre-conference presentation. Ooo, I can be your dress rehearsal!)

I have the smartest friends in the WORLD! *twirls*

Thanks! I wish you could come too... though I don't see why not, I mean, it's just in Wales.

I would be more than happy to inflict practice my presentation on/for you. If the conference is in November, I should have something pulled together by... Halloween-ish? Pencil me in?

*twirls, too* Watch out: it's the unstoppable horde (monstrous regiment?) of dangerously overeducated fangirls! :D

Found out more info about the conference: there will be a walking tour of the locations (hee!) and both Paul Cornell and Robert Shearman will reportedly be on panels.

Are you suuuuuure you can't come along? (Yes, I know, now I'm just being cruel.)
