Jim at RT Convention
Mickey Finn:
Dallas:
Fencon, as mentioned.
Project A-Kon, if you like anime or general insanity. www.a-kon.com
ConDFW, a writer's con and slowly becoming home to Bob Asprin, John Steakley, Stephen Zoltan Brust, and Bill Crider. www.condfw.org
College Station: Aggiecon, one of the older cons. It is staffed by the students, so quaility can vary from year to year, but one year they had Harlan Ellison AND Terry Pratchett, so they got clout.
Houston: OniCon is an anime con I haven't managed to get to, but has a good rep.
Owlcon: Gaming con I've never been to.

Oh, hey! I forgot to introduce myself to you! You came in after me, and I was already squished into place. :) I was on your side of the room against the wall. Don't remember if you were there when we were talking about when we lived in alaska, but that was us if you were. Mickey's description is pretty good, short hair, glasses. :) It was great meeting everyone!!
Kimber L Rose:
Yes, it was wonderful meeting everyone. I also found out that Hockeymom does in fact have the outdoor group picture but we're going to have to wait until she gets home and downloads it to her computer before she can even send it to me.

Have you ever have a day to were you feel like the biggest dolt in the world. Well, today was that day for me. I work right across the street from the where the RT Con is being held, as a security guard at the Allen Centers. I remember Mr.Butcher was to have a panel today between the hours of 5 and 6. So what do I do, I get 20 bucks and run across the street , yes in my stupid uniform. Now knowing nothing at all about Cons or asking anything about them I run into the Hyatt asking just about everyone person, which happened to be 90% women, if they knew who Jim Butcher was , when and where he was doing the book signning. With the help of four ,one of them being someone I saw at the dinner, that the book signning won't be until Satuday. I also got a crash course in how cons work from two women, one had a nickname of Chaoscat and the other lady worked at Lanes Library. Now, feeling like the biggest jasckass known to man I go back to work. See, I should have known better I should have checked the infromation and I should known times can change. I am sure you are wondering why I feel like the biggest dumbass...You run thru a hotel ,in stupid ass white security guard uniform ,FULL of women asking for Mr.Butcher and see how you feel. So, now that I know how cons work I'll be sure to check the information. If you were at the cons between the hours of 5 and 6 and saw some moron running around in a white sercuirty guard uniform ...that was me....go me yea :-\
Mickey Finn:
Not being into the romance scene (bookwise, anyways), I can only speak for the scifi/fantasy crowd...but a newbiew trying to find stuff out is not looked down upon. ;)
Also, schedule changes are not usually posted on con websites if they occur during the con itself. They usually just post it in the hotel.
