Actually, I did add it after I got Sam's reply.

He mentioned it contained dragons, which are fantastic.  Nope.
Those are dinosaurs, which are real.

I'm never sure just what I should put on our calendar of upcoming
events.  I never list objectivist or libertarian events, lest I be
accused of using our website as a personal soapbox.  I don't usually
list author events unless it's an SF or fantasy writer.  And some
events I don't even mention here on the list.  Such as the one on
the national mall this Saturday, which I plan to be at.

I could just list everything that interests me, and everything that
any WSFA member asks me to list.  Would that annoy anyone?
