Louisiana, Pretty Pretty Please! Anywhere would be fine. If Jim comes, we will drive.  There are several cons in New Orleans, some dealing with spooky stuff.  There is also a new steampunk con in Baton Rouge, but Baton Rouge is pretty dull.  Most of all, if I could have any place granted me, I would love for him to be a guest at the Jambalaya Writters Conference held, each year, in the spring at the Terrebonne Parish Main Branch Library in Houma, Louisiana. Houma is only about 45 minuites (south west) from New Orleans, and very hospitible.  There are many people here who LOVE The Dresden Files!
