Apparently I like to glorify procrastination.<\/p>\n<p>A few promo items which crossed my desk last week: We&#8217;ve talked here before about the awesome Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll Camp for Girls which takes place in Portland every summer. Now, get the behind-the-scenes story, as well as advice, lessons, and more, with a new release from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chroniclebooks.com\/girlsrock\/\">Chronicle Books<\/a>. I like to plug the rock camp&#8211;an 11-year-old friend of ours went last summer and loved it. In other news about summer activities, I found out I&#8217;ll be out of town for this summer&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mashup.ypulse.com\/\">YPulse National Mashup Conference<\/a>&#8211;very disappointing, since it&#8217;s in San Francisco and sounds like it&#8217;ll be a great chance to hear about current trends in YA publishing.<br \/>Lastly, I&#8217;ve not had a lot of time for blog reading (or blog writing, or blog anything) this past week, but I did run across this fabulous <a href=\"http:\/\/jkrbooks.typepad.com\/blog\/2008\/06\/futuristic-spec.html\">list of Futuristic, Speculative, Science Fiction and Dystopian Fiction for Young Adults<\/a> on Jen Robinson&#8217;s Book Page.
