Title: Going to DragonCon next week?
Post by: prophet224 on August 26, 2011, 04:02:02 PM

Hi all! Last year's DragonCon was sweet, what with Jim being there and all (and one of my other favorites - John Ringo).

Is anyone going this year? The sessions with authors, discussion of technique, and the publisher and editor Q/A sessions were all amazing, and I came away from last year with pages of notes, including things like (from Jim Mins, editor at Baen) Use scotch. “Something with a port or sherrywood finish.” No ice. :-)

Anyway, hope to see people there!

I'm hoping to go for a day (probably coming down Friday, hanging with people outside the Con, and attending the Con proper Saturday). Not really sure yet.

Does make me wonder if I met any of you at D*C last year via Shannon and Jim.

Next year, provided I'm still stateside, but this year's a wash due to my wife being pregnant with Impending Doom II :)

Oh dear - do we congratulate you or console you Breandan? ::)
Just kidding - congratulations - wishing you all the best. ;D

well, Toddlergeddon needs siblings, so it all works out, but I am seriously considering building a castle-home (http://www.castlemagic.com/castle-for-sale.html) just to make sure the house survives

Nope, but I'll probably be in Chicago for Worldcon next year, and may well be at Boskone in February.

My wife and I will be there, we will be mostly in the Westin Peachtree on the sixth floor. We have twelve panels in the International room A, drop by if you get a chance. The best panel, is the weird tech one, where we look at how stuff changes in a new history line.

Regards,
Kevin
