I haven't been around here for a while, but my daughter and I are registered for Azkatraz and I'm presenting a paper and running a round table.  Our whole family is going, actually.  It's been about 20 years since my husband and I have been to San Francisco and we're very excited to be going back!  Even though he and our son aren't registered for Azkatraz, I was able to purchase meals for them at the Welcome and Leaving Feasts, so we can all eat together at those times.  We're also planning to make time to do some touristy things in SF, in addition to all of the amazing presentations I'm looking forward to attending.  (Sadly, one of our favorite places to eat, China Moon, has closed since we were last there.)

As an HPEF board member, I'm also very excited that, following through on our prison theme, one of the charities we'll be raising money for is Books Behind Bars, which provides books to prisoners.  (Think of poor Sirius up in Azkaban with no books to keep him company!)

I hope to see a lot of you at Azkatraz!
