At one point I waved the red down coat around, but there were (happily) just so many people there, that it’s not surprising we didn’t all manage to connect. I think there’s critical mass for more in-person Shapeling gatherings in the Boston area soon, though.

Kate, it was so great to meet you! I can’t wait to get my own copy of the book (guys, it sold out at the reading, it’s that good!), and one for my mom, and…. :) And ditto for when yours comes out.

Also, look for pics Opn is going to be posting to Fatshionista on LJ with a bunch of Shapelings in snazzy clothes for the reading.

(I am, in fact, putting together a syllabus on the eroticization of rape in text and film, in the hopes that students will learn to logic and deconstruct some artifacts of rape culture.) But I just finished your essay and ran immediately to the computer to tell you that it was beautiful and sad. Obviously I enjoy your casual blogwriting – I’ve been a reader for years – but your essay (cursing and all) was a more polished, literary kind of piece. Kudos.

It was great to meet Kate. She was fantastic and inspirational and funny and friendly. I was a little star-struck. Toni’s essay was one of the ones that I re-read, and e-mailed around to friends and family, so to hear it read aloud was incredible. Jaclyn is a very close friend, and it’s always wonderful to see friends celebrated on such a grand scale. What a great night. I’m sorry I didn’t get to meet other Shapelings! I was so wrapped up in the Big Moves ‘verse, catching up with those folks, that I didn’t search the room for other fans. Next time!

Jaclyn was amazing, Toni moved me to tears, and even if it was only for about 90 seconds it was really wonderful to meet Kate. Thank you everyone for the sweet compliments on my dress :) And I’m really glad I got to go out with some folks and actually hang out with Shapelings in person. Everyone was SO nice to me and very encouraging. I’m hoping I can slowly stop being such a lurker now. I was so glad to meet such lovely people.

I’ll wear my button from Big Moves that says “fat ass”. Also I will be knitting. :) I’ll try to be organized enough to have a sign I can hold up afterwards saying “SHAPELINGS HERE”.

Kate rocks! not that that’s news to anyone here… and she signed my book with: “Fuck!!!”), and I looked for that red down coat but didn’t see it… I went dancing afterwards anyway, so I guess it worked out. The Feminism and Dessert thing sounds great, though – we should totally have a maybe-a-little-more-organized Shapeling meetup there!

There were only four of us in the end, so we didn’t look like a big identifiable crowd when leaving. We should try to meet up again, though! Can you (are you interested) in going to Feminism and Dessert this coming Tuesday, also hosted by CNW? I am planning to be there.
