I don't really have a good excuse, but this bit from Book Publishing ought to alleviate any pangs of guilt

Good Lord. My apologies.

Let's just say it's a good thing I'm not in charge of making your dinners.

Book Publishing (Jess Haberman) has a note up about a Publisher's Weekly seminar at NYU's Kimmel Center this next Monday, September 22. The seminar includes a keynote by Wally Lamb (I Know This Much Is True, She's Come Undone, The Hour I First Believed), along with the following (from the article):

-Continental breakfast
-Welcome remarks from Sara Nelson, editor-in-chief of PW and Andrea Chambers, director of the Center for Publishing, NYU
-Keynote address from Wally Lamb
-The Nuts and Bolts of Publishing panel
-Lunch and networking
-Agent/Author/Editor Relationship panel

Attendees will also attend two breakout sessions in the afternoon for more interactive discussions; each track will be repeated twice. Breakout session topics include:

-Alternative Publishing
-Marketing & Publicity
-Writing for the Children’s and Young Adult Market

The day will conclude with an on-site Cocktail Reception...

Sounds like my idea of a party. Read the article for more info, and a direct link to the PW info page. There is a discount for NYU students.
