Thanks for all the kind words. It feels lovely. I have a side project now (that I don’t really have time for) of collecting links to Clarionite’s blogging about their Clarion experiences. There’s so much interesting and exciting stuff about it.

Hey,
I was the lone Aussie at Clarion 2008 in San Diego. It was the best 6 weeks of my life. Worth every cent and then some. It changed my life. I even brought back an American Clarionite and am keeping her in my house.
I’m kind of surprised they’re letting any Australians back in after me being there last year. Er, the less said the better. Mysterious Galaxy bookshop is cool, as well.
I envy you for getting Robert Crais as a tutor, though. The campus is great. But be very wary of Canyon Vista. (A cafeteria of questionable quality.) We fought off food poisoning for 6 weeks. Be very, very wary of the salad.
Don’t believe what they’ll say about rattlesnakes in the canyons. I never saw one. And go to the beach. It’s cool and within walking distance. And the science lab where Gregory Benford set Timescape is on the campus. Although I only viewed it from afar.
I got your name off the Clarion 2009 roster, which got emailed to us Clarion alumni. Just so you know I’m not just another creepy internet weirdo.
Have fun. Join the club.
