I’m a voting member this year (so many outstanding works!), but am too far away to attend. Have fun!
I haven’t been to a WorldCon in some years, but attending this one was not in the stars. Have a great time!
And the following week (in case you’re at a loose end) is Bouchercon in Minneapolis.
Have fun.
This is my very first Worldcon! Trying to choose between all the interesting panels and events has been a real dilemma. I hope our paths cross.
“The Journey from Page to Screen”
Might this contain just a hint of irony?
Former co-worker of mine is driving to Chicon today. He and his wife spent their honeymoon at Noreascon 2, apparently. This (next?) week is their 43rd. He has a reading of his short/flash fic or poetry (SFPA Reading Friday afternoon) – if you see David, say hi!
::sniff:: Bye-bye – have fun at WorldCon!
I wish I was going, but that’s not going to happen for another few years, at least….
I’d be one of those drunken timelords staggering through the hallways howling Gallifreyan love songs… if only I had me a TARDIS to get me there…
I was looking at your schedule and the schedule overall at Chicon and conspicuous by his absence for a second year is George RR Martin. Is Worldcon better for him being emphatically told he is not welcome by announcing that he can “F*** off into the Sun” on stage and that announcement getting huge cheers (and an occasional boo)? Any thoughts and are you going to miss the fancy loser parties?
