For those who are interested, I will definitely be attending World Fantasy this year (in just a few weeks) in Calgary. It’s the only con I can attend this year and I’m looking forward to it.
But looking ahead to next year, it looks like a more con-a-licious year. If it all works out. It’s dependent on my job and money and time, of course. And who knows what the economy will allow for. But this is the current plan:
Early Feb: NY Comicon – it’s local, it’s easy, and it’s my birthday weekend. I missed last year, so this year I plan on going.
Mid Feb: Boskone – it’s drivable and my CW friend Kristin encouraged me to come, so I will try.
May: Wiscon – a mini Clarion West reunion perhaps? And one of the better cons in the annual lineup. Plus I love Madison.
July: Readercon – again, I missed it last year, and I like the con a lot (and it’s driveable), so this year I want to make it.
November: World Fantasy – in San Jose! If I’m lucky, I’ll get to go and then drive up to wine country for a few days.
Not on the list right now is Worldcon – Montreal is not too far away, so I can probably make it, but I’m going to think about this for a while.
That’s the plan, of course subject to change, but that seems like quite a bit. But I will definitely be in Calgary in a few weeks. Hope to see some of you there.
