She had been Poet Guest of Honor at several conventions already, so she will know the ropes as we put her through her paces. Sorry, I guess it was the cowboy hat she's wearing in that photo. Let's all welcome Carolyn Clink to OSFest 3 this July 23-25, 2010. Memberships are still available at: http://www.blogger.com/www.osfes.org/registration.htm
