Re: PR material
Date: 2005-03-06 05:42 am (UTC)I'm not disagreeing with you in the least. :)
I don't drink alcohol and as part of my "Let's at least try to keep my weight measured in three digits" I no longer eat any sweet I did not make from scratch myself.
Hmm... can't think of anything else offhand that distinguishes Ad Astra from any other literary con, then. It's still a good time, though.
(Though you don't actually have to eat the cheesecake at the beefcake/cheesecake event; you could just pay $5 to have some cute young thing sit on your lap for five minutes, and the money would go to Casey House. I don't think they care so long as it stays within the bounds of legality, decency, and comfort of the servers. And at Ad Astra, sometimes I think "decency" is a relative term. ;) )
