Vernor Vinge Reads for Clarion West

[kate_schaefer]

It's the very last Clarion West reading for this year's workshop, and the first time Vernor Vinge reads for Clarion West. This may be the first time he's read in Seattle; I'm sure that if it isn't, someone will correct me right quick.

Vernor Vinge will read at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 25, in the JBL Theater of the Experience Music Project, at 325 Fifth Avenue, next to Seattle Center. A mathematician and computer scientist, Vinge contended in his 1993 essay "The Technological Singularity" that technological complexity could change human life beyond our comprehension. His new novel Rainbows End shares the world of his Hugo Award-winning "Fast Times at Fairmont High." He is the 2006 Susan C. Petrey Fellow. Copies of Vinge's books will be on sale at the reading; a signing session follows.

Admission is $4, $3 for members, seniors, and students. Tickets are available at the University Bookstore, 4326 University Way NE. Free parking is usually pretty easy to find on Taylor Avenue or 6th Avenue.

This event is sponsored by Clarion West, and co-sponsored by the University Bookstore and the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame.

Yes, I do sometimes post about things other than Clarion West. Sometimes.

Hi Kate! I searched everywhere for your email, and found you on LJ. Cool. Not that I'm here much. Your post made me nostalgic for CW.

Good news! The surviving luciferous crocosmia finally bloomed! I'm very happy. I posted pictures on my LJ, and a thanks to you. Great seeing you at Wiscon 30.

Cheers!
Bob

Thanks, it was fun seeing you, too (though Wiscon is a venue where there are always way too many people I like for me to be able to spend anywhere near enough time with any of them). I'm happy to see that you're following the naming convention that makes it possible -- easy, in fact -- for your friends to figure out who you are.
