Monday: party school, weenie-tinis, awards, talk and Pluto

Today is my first day of school. Of course I am nervous and excited. What should I wear? What should I bring to class? Well, this bit from Galleycat reinforces one of my creeping suspicions: people believe that MFA women and party girls are two entirely different creatures. But... but... Maybe I should bring a bottle of champagne to tonight's writing workshop.

Or maybe this: with homemade weeniecello (hot-dog-infused vodka), you can make a mean Weenie-Tini (via MeFi).

In less loopy news, Tod Goldberg is up for the Southern California Booksellers Award for fiction, in fine company (Aimee Bender, Susan Straight, Carolyn See, Jennifer Kaufman & Karen Mack).

The Happy Booker hosts an interview by The May Queen editor Nicki Richeseon with Lily Burana, the author of Try -- she calls it an alt.western rodeo novel.

Nostalgic for the days when Pluto was a planet? This bumper sticker is for you.

Good luck!

I find it hard to believe that anybody who has met Pinky will come to the conclusion that MFA woman does NOT equal party girl!

Knock 'em dead in workshop. Good luck! Wendi
