Going to DragonCon next week?
« 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 :)

well, Toddlergeddon needs siblings, so it all works out, but I am seriously considering building a castle-home 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.
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

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
