Your humble servant is doing a reading on Saturday, May 19th with Marie Brennan and Erin Hoffman as part of the SF in SF series. Details at http://www.sfinsf.org/.
Surely you have nothing better to do on a Saturday night than listen to three wonderful writers reading their wonderful fiction, yes?
Plus, I will bring chocolate.
And maybe even see if I can borrow one of Udo's hat's for the occasion. Who knows, maybe he'll be a giving vein that day.

The Army of Califa officer corps is divided into two branches: staff and line.
Staff officers, also known as "yaller dogs", are detached from their regiments to perform administrative duties, and are assisted by staff clerks chosen from the enlisted ranks. They are not very popular with the Line officers, who believe they are trying to shirk actual danger.
Most loathed of all the yaller dogs is the aide de camp, or ADC. ADCs are assigned directly to high ranking officers and are really just glorified servants. To the rest of the Army, they are nothing more than lapdogs.
From THE ARMY OF CALIFA CIRCULAR:

Fyrdraaca ov Fyrdraaca is hereby detached from her current duty at Benica Barracks and hereby ordered to report immediately to the Commanding General's office, Building 56, The Presidio, thereby to take up duty as Aide de Camp to General J.B. Fyrdraaca ov Fyrdraaca.
Signed: Agilis Sabre, Adjutant General, Army of Califa
