ConDFW in Richardson, TX: Feb 20-22, 2009
The Dread Pharaoh Roberts:
Ah, ok. The con won't be keeping people from walking through the halls of the hotel. I'm not sure where they'll have the autograph tables, but I wouldn't be surprised if badges were checked. After all, it's a major draw for the con. But do attend some panel discussions and other programming while you're there. It'll be fun.
Spectacular Sameth:
Well, yeah...I will considering I'll be paying $20-35 for it. ;)
And like I said, I'd like to meet some of the boardies there. I'll have to wear a sign or something that says I'm from the forum. (Though at A-kon, they banned signs.)

I've been to conventions, but the difference between this convention and others is that there's not a whole lot of things that they are doing that I'm all that interested in. With the anime conventions I went to, there was anime shows to watch, the dealer room had all kinds of anime posters, figures, and so I liked looking at, and so. This one has a whole lot of things that I basically haven't heard of. I know you're probably sitting there saying, "Well, now is the time to learn," but if I'm going to do that, I'd rather not spend money on that.

I've never been to a Con but I'm going to this one. Jim Butcher and David Weber are a couple of my favorite authors. If you want something Free Sameth check out Baen books website with dozens of free older books such as At Basilisk Station or In Death Ground or Off Armageddon Reef. See if you like David Weber. The whole Con thing seems to me to meet the authors but more to meet and have fun and exchange ideas with people who like the same books as you. You might make a few friends or get a new insight into the story or share your theories.
The Dread Pharaoh Roberts:
A lot of folks at the con "meet" the authors, but not personally - that's what the panel discussions and such are geared toward. Jim, however, is one of those guests who goes out of his way to make people feel like they've gotten their fair share of his attention, though. He's very gracious about it.

Eh. Save your breath. I'm going.
I've heard of David Weber, but frankly, I've got about 50 books sitting on my shelf that need my attention. That's why I'm not taking requests right now.

I certainly hope so! I've spoken briefly with him on the boards and he seems pretty nice.
