Aug. 23rd, 2013 18:22Sunday August 18, 2013 To the uptown Lunds supermarket, for the MinnSpec meeting. (Minnesota Speculative Fiction writers.)
On the bus, ran into Ken Konkol.
Lunds provides food samples, enough for a variety of snacks.
"This Minneapolis group meetup will cover the basics of selling your short stories from beginning to end: preparing a submission, choosing a publisher to submit to, rights and contracts and what you can expect, basic marketing, and the afterlife of the short story."
Abra Staffin-Wiebe spoke, and took questions and comments. I found it useful.

Shopped at the Wedge Coop, and then homeward.
***I sometimes wonder how a teleportation network would affect where people live. If they could commute from places with extremely low housing prices to jobs anywhere, how many would do it?
From the New York Times:
With New York City rents reaching new highs, housing prices by comparison are still reasonable in Jersey City. The average rent here was $1,900 a month during the second quarter of the year, according to data provided by Trulia. In early July, the average listing price for a home downtown was $604,000 and in Hamilton Park was $426,000, according to data provided by Liberty Realty.
Still, for many New Yorkers, crossing the Hudson is a psychological hurdle, even if Jersey City now has a Two Boots Pizza and a coffee shop that serves Blue Bottle Coffee.
"The PATH train is like the train to Hogwarts," said Kip Jacobson, 41, alluding to the “Harry Potter" series. Mr. Jacobson moved to the Van Vorst Park neighborhood from Williamsburg a year ago with his wife, Samantha, and their young son.

Two Boots Pizza and Blue Bottle Coffee weren't part of the NYC I used to know.
