Which is lovely this time of year.
I’m here for Rose City Comic Con; here is my schedule. Come say hello if you’re coming to the convention!

Looking forward to meeting you. Still trying to decide which book I want you to sign.
You will go to Powell’s temple of books, yes? I loved it when I went there for Callahanicon. Have a safe and fun trip!
If you haven’t heard: please be sure to check out Fried Egg, I’m in Love. It’s a local breakfast food truck.
If you haven’t been, I highly recommend the Rose Garden and the Japanese Garden (they share the same parking lot).
Maine or Oregon? I could google your con but I feel that work should devolve to you.
And I’m too old for the ghost quit stuff, but I’m glad I became a consultant in the 90s and charged them for every fricken hour I worked. As opposed to the 80s, where I was a young, naive sucker….
Welcome! Sorry cannot make the Con, but agree on the Japanese and Rose Gardens advice. Too bad about the east winds and the associated forest fire smoke, otherwise I recommend views from the Hoyt Arboretum just uphill from the gardens, or Council Crest to the south.
