And good to see you popping up again here!
Pushing him to come? No.
But you didn't say anything about begging, pleading, whining, and/or bribing...

I got to meet Jim, Priscellie, Shecky, Iago, Serack, and quite a few others at MarsCon.
I think it would be a great idea to find at least one place each year and do our best to do a JB Fan Event. Pick a smaller Con, like MarsCon, or one of the smaller ComicCons (Baltimore anyone?) and make an effort to get everyone out to it.
If I find out that there will be another event on the East Coast, between New York and South Carolina... I will do everything I can to make it out there !

Calendar Event Discussion / Re: Jim and Shannon at MarsCon in Williamsburg, VA - 1/14-16/2011
« on: January 24, 2011, 10:04:48 AM »Ah, there you are! Did you enjoy the rest of the con?
I enjoyed MarsCon a lot. It wasn't as big as Baltimore ComicCon, which they say is pretty small for a ComicCon, but the only other Con I've been too. MarsCon felt... tight knit? Or was that the large influx of Dresdenphiles?
It wasn't too long after I got to talk with you Sunday that I got the call. My wife and daughter wanted to meet up for lunch. Jim left, I'd met up with a bunch of people from the forum, I figured I'd head out. It was a weekend well spent.

« on: January 23, 2011, 04:21:54 PM »I have sort of a self-centered question... Did someone mention fanfics at the con or something? I'm abruptly getting a huge spike in readership and "favorite story" of the two Dresden fanfics I wrote and posted on fanfic.net Not that I'm complaining! Not at all. I'm just wondering why after all these months, there's a bunch of new readers all of a sudden.
This is from my Con-Addled brain, so bear with me...
Jim did talk about FanFic in one of his Q&A's. He said something like he used to treat fan fiction as "What FanFiction? If I acknowledge it then I have to exercise my Copy Right and stomp all over the people who are most rabid about my writing." Now with "Creative Commons" he can acknowledge that we have the right to write FanFic as long as we avoid monetary reimbursement.
Thanks

« on: September 08, 2010, 10:09:31 AM »Me and my buddy are planning to see Jim and Shannon in Williamsburg VA January 12-14 for Marscon. He and she are the guests of honor for that con. Totally looking forward to it as it will be my second time seeing Jim in person (first was fencon in Dallas about 4-5 years back). Honestly one of the nicest guys in person I have ever met. You can tell a lot about a person in how they treat their fans.
I've been checking the website for MarsCON (http://www.marscon.net) and wanted to say/ask two things...
I noticed that MarsCON is listed as January 14-16.
Second, the questions: Does anyone know the format of MarsCON? Its a 3 day show, will Jim and Shannon be there all weekend? Will they have a booth(s)? Will he be doing panels/Q&A's?
I could contact the event staff and try to find out, but I thought someone on here might have already gone a previous year or have insider knowledge... or we could be graced with the WoJ himself.
