Roni, I totally missed this message earlier. Sory! Just posted a new blog and will announce an official date and time as we get closer to the conference, we will have an official PiBo reunion! :)

Once upon a time, a lonely PiBo wandered aimlessly through a throng of one thousand other authors. Having been rebuffed, rebuked, and ridiculed once too often, she had reluctantly refrained from asking one more person, "Are you a PiBo?" They must be here somewhere, she thought while scanning the crowd for the tell-tale markings on a T-shirt, button, or coffee mug. But, alas, the sea of souls was simply too vast. Would she ever find another survivor who, like herself, had sacrificed a precious week to the noble pursuit of picture book publication? Oh, if only the PiBo's had replied to her post! If Paula had only blogged a plan! (If only she had been watching where she was walking, she would not have bumped into the Three Silly Chicks with their three cups of coffee, which she now wore down the front of her once wintery white PiBo shirt!) With her last ounce of dignity suspended like a raindrop stretching ever downward before plummeting to depths unknown, she stood stoic in the center of the lobby and called, "Where, oh where, have the PiBo's all gone?"

Yay Roni! I'm excited you've registered! PiBos, let us know if anyone else is coming. I'm pretty sure several are coming, Roni, I just can't remember who. I'll do a blog later this week to ask for a headcount so we can figure out a reunion day. Yay!
