I watched the stream from the Bay Area. So cool to see two people I follow, meet up to have a great conversation. BTW, Paulo Bacigalupi is also a favorite author of mine. Wish he would write more. He wrote a very relevant short story in 2019 for the MIT alumni magazine; title is “A Full Life.”

Thank you SO much for hosting this. I participated from the San Francisco Bay Area, and I was thrilled that two seemingly very different writers I follow on BlueSky are actually good friends and signed up to do this conversation together. It was definitely worthwhile.

Online on the Left Coast and waiting for the entertainment to begin.

Curious how two folks I follow from (in my mind) completely different worlds are coming together at a library in Ann Arbor. Wish I lived closer.

Or as my mother who graduated from Purdue used to sing it, " Indiana, you big banana, Indiana, to H*ll with you." I am so happy for IU.

50 years ago, IU basketball had a perfect season on their way to the NCAA championship. IU now has the only teams in basketball and football to accomplish that.
