Am wildly intrigued

I just ran a Google search on "Peg Kerr" which I do periodically out of morbid interest, mostly to see if any new reviews have popped up on my work. Ran across this, which I had never seen before:

Sistersville Daily Review
Sistersville, West Virginia

Saturday, July 31, 1937

Miss Mary KRUG and Miss Peg KERR left today by automobile on a two weeks vacation trip which will take them to New York City, New England States and a tour through Canada.

Am v. curious about this Peg Kerr, of a bygone generation. My name is not very common, after all. What sort of person was she like?

At Nimbus

I have an autograph session scheduled at Nimbus set (at this time) for 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Friday night. But feel free to track me down at other times if you can't catch me then.

Am getting quite ridiculously nervous about my presentation (The Seven Deadly Sins/Seven Heavely Virtues panel). Abstract is here. I decided early I'd be doing it more like an extemporaneous sort of thing, hopefully with audience participation, rather than presentation of a paper. (I've done that sort of thing at conventions before.) And the mods know that and have approved it.

But they keep sending me these boilerplate e-mails that say things like "please remember to give us a complete version of your paper on disk when you arrive at the convention." So I keep panicking and e-mailing them back, and saying, "didn't we agree about this?" And they e-mail back and say, "no, no, no, we know; that doesn't apply to you."

Anyway, it is all making me paranoid that despite all my experience at extemporaneous speaking, I'll get up there and somehow will draw an absolute blank. People will throw shoes. People will say, "Boy, was she stupid. Didn't she prepare? She didn't have a single interesting thing to say."

I need some sympathetic ringers in the audience, who are willing to ask bright, scintillating questions.

Don't throw shoes, please.
