I'll ro-sham-bo anyone for EUOL's guest slot to the Tor party 
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

So I'll be wandering my way out to Salt Lake on Sunday and then down to Provo on Tuesday and I was wondering, what's the deal with our departure point? Are we meeting at someone's house or something? And at what time on wednesday? (Wednesday is the first day I can move into my apartment and I need to figure out if I will have an hour or two in the morning to move a couple boxes in)

What kind of limited space are we looking here for luggage? Obviously we are going absolute minimum, but should I be wearing all of my clothing at once and hoping that the cars are airconditioned, or am I fine with a laptop bag and small duffle?

Hey Euol, can I jump in your car for a ride both directions?

I know I was put on the list, but I'm not sure if I ended up in a room or a car driving down from Provo.... it looks like some poeple are still in limbo, but I have to figure out when I'm flying out to Utah (I'm guessing around the 19th or 20th, but I need to know when the wagon train is leaving too) Thanks.

So is there like a waiting list, with a very large, muscular bouncer at the door, for the Sanderson alpha reading camp? You know, just out of curiousity. And can you slip said bouncer forty or fifty bucks to get in?

Heeeeeeey. I'm fine with riding there and back at any point, I just need someone to ride with. I could even take someone's glove compartment, if it's not full of elephants.

I really hated how whiney the different kids where, and there were some very cheesy moments. But other than that, good movie.

There's a difference between being underrated and just plain awful. Underrated flicks are generally the ones that didn't get any attention in the theater but were dang awesome. While I liked Riddick to the a point, the Hulk was horribly done, as was Daredevil and a couple other recent comic films, disappointingly. Boondock Saints is an underrated for sure, as is Serenity.

My little nephews beat the crap out of each other all the time with lightsabers. It's just kind of how they play. I would definately link it to star wars, and I know none of them were any older than 2 or so when they first saw them.

Dang cool movie. I put it up there with Boondock Saints for under-appreciated.
