Curse Richard Hugo House, Anyway

So Ellen Klages is teaching a YA Fiction workshop through the offices of Richard Hugo House. Cool. In fact, there are several workshops in the series that sound interesting. The James Patrick Kelly workshop sounds particularly useful. Interesting writing workshops with fine writers, available locally -- keen, right? What's not to like?

Yeah, except I've been through this before. Last year there was another such series, and so I clicked through the complex maze of links to and through the Hugo House web page, only to find that the when/where/how-much information was all buried deep in a gigantic .pdf of the poster-sized flyer for all of Richard Hugo House's workshops for the entire year, and NOWHERE ELSE. Pages and pages of scrolling later I find the eyewatering workshop fees in 3 pt. Bodoni narrow in the bottom drawer of a locked filing cabinet, stuck upside-down, in a disused toilet with a sign on the door saying 'BEWARE OF THE LEOPARD! at the very bottom of the form, with no way to find out if the workshop was already full. And so it was only with some trepidation that I again essayed the journey, drilling down through the links again, only to find that now the folks at Hugo House have managed a new wrinkle, and the link to the registration form comes back with a 404 Not Found error. So this time the particulars for signing up aren't available anywhere at all. And that, dear friends, is Richard Hugo House in a nutshell. So close and yet so very, very far.
