FAQ

1. What's going on here?

   I'm leaving the Bay Area. Specifically, I'm emigrating to London, UK, to work for EFF and Creative Commons on a variety of European licensing, standards, treaty and regulatory issues.

   I leave for Toronto at the end of Feburary, and spend a month (modulo short visits to SXSW and PCForum) living there on a Leave of Absence, finishing up my next novel, which is due at the start of April.

   As of April 2 or so, I should be in London, installed in my flat in Kentish Town, and ready to get to work.

2. So, you're selling some stuff?

   Yup, I sure am. This is the stuff that I'm not storing or shipping -- stuff that's cheaper to replace than to sock away or transport.

3. What're the terms of the sale?
   1. Email me if you want to buy something.
   2. First come, first serve: I honor the first-received timestamp (yes, I know you can hack your timetamps, hardy har har) in my in-box.
   3. Cash or PayPal to doctorow@craphound.com.
   4. All sales final, all sales as-is.
   5. You pick up the goods from 18th and Mission-ish.

4. Hey, bummer that you're leaving the Bay Area. Got time for dinner before you go?

   No. I really, honestly don't. I've got a couple of signings coming up before I split -- I'd love to see you if you could make it, but I just don't have any discretionary time between now and my departure. Sorry.

5. How about a going-away party?

   Possibly. Stay tuned. I'll put something on Boing Boing and my mailing list if I can pull it off.

6. Hey, you're gonna be in Toronto for a month! Let's have lunch/dinner/coffee!

   I've been trying to juggle time to see family and friends in Toronto on my every visit there for nearly four years, and failing miserably at it. I wish I could just turn my month there into a long socializing period, partying and hanging out and having good conversations, but that's not in the cards. I have a novel, it needs to be rewritten, it is long and complicated, and I have about 20 days to do it, and it's about 20 days' worth of work.

   So, here's my plan: I'm going to try to book lunches, dinners and coffee-breaks with my blood relatives and my few closest friends, and then I'm going to just open it up for all my other friends and people I'd like to see. Again, watch Boing Boing and my mailing list for details.

7. Wow, London! Super-cool! Let's get together when you get here! I have some great ideas!

   That's a plan. Ping me after April 2 and we'll set something up!
