Friday? Where?
I will be at Geek.Kon this weekend. I do not, however, know what my schedule is. Geek.Kon is a free con, and the program book is online, so check it out. I will totally pimp for my friend David Salo, who's giving a talk on Sindarin at eight on Saturday. (ETA: That's eight o'clock post meridian.) You should all go.
And now, a poll:

And I don't think anyone (except maybe fellow linguists) would be masochistic enough to show up at 8 a.m. Even for Sindarin.
(My beginning Greek class was at 8:50. The professor was a morning person and was just baffled about why it was a MWF re-enactment of Dawn of the Dead.)

I have it on reasonably good authority that it's actually going to be about (elvish) writing and its applications -- a mixture of calligraphy and phonetics.

No, really.

...which is another way of saying: I'll read it regardless! Go work on something! Hurry!

You are writing all three eventually, though, right? ::hopeful::

The Emperor of the Elflands &/or The Cormorant Child.
(Sorry, I'm down on baseball. Although I'm sure it'll be a good book, since I like your stuff.)
Political intrigue FTW! Go CJ Cherryh!!

...Though. How baseballey is this baseball going to be? ^_^ (Are you a baseball fan of some sort, or is it just going to be kind of...more of a setting for other stuff?)

Mmmm. Other stuff.
(Mmmmm. Linguistics. *wishes she lived in a place they had cons like that* ...Even if 8 am is...an unplesant time if day.)
*makes her vote even though it's losing* ^^

My political hobby crosses over into my reading it seems :]

However, that being said, I've had authors whose work I loved convince me to take the chance on something with WWF style "wrestling" as its central theme (To which i am vastly more allergic than I am to baseball), and enjoyed the heck out of it anyway. (Twice. with different people.) Ditto with a friend's recommendation of a movie about cricket, actually, and *that* was a four hour Bollywood epic. While I still skim LJ entries on geekitudes i don't share, I'm convinced that for fiction, topic is less essential than enthusiasm and talent.
