It’s getting towards that<\/em> time. If WorldCon were being held anywhere else in the world I’d be rushing around checking my bags, my passport, my clothes, my carry-on, my schedule etc etc, and getting ready for WorldCon.<\/p>\n

Usually I’d be aiming to fly to Oakland some time in the week before the convention so I could have a chunk of time with Charles, before heading to the convention. The last time I did, or will, do that was for Denvention in late July 2008 (see earlier post<\/a>). We had enormous fun, and I sold three books to Jeremy Lassen over beer on Charles’ back deck.\u00c2\u00a0 This time is so different.<\/p>\n

Everything seems calm. There are five of us going to WorldCon – Marianne, Jessica, Sophie, my mother (!!), and me. It should be fun, even if a completely different kind of fun.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ll do stuff, see friends, and try to balance our social schedules for the five days we’re there. It’s likely to be a bit crazy, but also excellent. I can barely believe, though, that it’s only fourteen days.<\/p>\n

Once we get back from Aussiecon I’ll make my final, final decision about Columbus and World Fantasy. Right now I’d say I’m at 10% for going\/90% for skipping this year, but anything could happen.\u00c2\u00a0 If I don’t go this year, I’ll definitely attend the Reno WorldCon (Charles did ask me to go), and the San Diego World Fantasy next year, so it would be a win of sorts.<\/p>\n

Other than that, my apologies for the delays with the podcast. It normally comes out Sunday, but we’ve been delayed by some issues, but hope to have something up shortly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
