Just
got word today that I will be a judge for the 2005
Audie Awards,
which are given out each year by the Audio
Publishers Association to honor excellence in audiobook publishing. 
I’ll be judging the science fiction category in round two, which means that I’ll
have to choose among the best five or six SF audiobooks that make the final
ballot.  This also means I’ll get free admission
to the Audie Award banquet/award gala thing which is held in NYC this year.
