“My best memories of Confluence: the filk singing circle, a long conversation with David D. Levine about writing workshops, his Arabella of Mars series, and life in general. Catherine M. Valente’s reading form Space Opera, which is howlingly funny. Getting the scoop on recent and upcoming missions to Mercury and the sun. Tasting locally brewed beer and mead. Kaffee Klatch with J.D. Barker, and the textiles presentation by Susan Dexter. The only one of those I knew I’d love in advance was the filking, all the rest were serendipitous delights.” -Chris Wozney
