con-going in 2008

*Minicon 43
*OdysseyCon 8
*Penguicon 6.0
*WisCon 32
*DucKon 17
*Fourth Street Fantasy Convention
*Readercon 19

o.O

I think, given the complete berserk insanity of the above, that I will perhaps be giving World Fantasy a miss this year. But, you know, I could probably be convinced otherwise. Because I have no sense of self-preservation, that's why.

I'm strongly considering giving WFC a miss this year too.

Because aieeeeee!

But it's in November. Which is way different from those other months.

[matociquala.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and in September, I am at Viable Paradise for eight days.... and and and :-P

I know, I know. I'm not going to as many as truepenny and, though I don't know your schedule, probably not as many as you. And I'm still way full up.

Still and all. Not all months ending in -ember are created equal.

Hee.

It's true.

They are gonna make me write some books this year too.

And then there's the money thing. And the buying a house thing. And the maybe going to Tanzania thing.

Oh, you're trying to have a life. Silly writer.

Butbutbutbut TANZANIA!

I'll see you at both PenguiCon and WisCon. Bear has promised to show me some of the kewl stuff at WisCon. I may or may not be at WFC this year. Depends on how things go with the work stuff.

Alas that Readercon, normally one of my usual cons, is very likely a miss this year for scheduling reasons.

[davidlevine]

As far as I'm concerned, WFC is the best con for writers. I'd hate to not see you there! Tough call, though, given those choices.

[ethereal-lad.livejournal.com]

see you at Readercon!

[oracne.livejournal.com]

WisCon and Readercon for me, too!

[ckd]

Of those, Readercon is a go, and I'm hoping to make it to one of Minicon/Penguicon/Fourth Street. (I don't think I can make two, and I'm near-certain I can't make all three.)

(I'm awfully spoiled by having both Arisia and Boskone within easy commute distance.)

If you end up @ Minicon...

& like music, I recommend going to hear Nate. He's an amazing guitar player & a really sweet guy. I don't know if my friends in Riverfolk are also playing, but they're also well worth hearing.

Hope you enjoy your trip to MN!

Re: If you end up @ Minicon...

If you miss Riverfolk at Minicon, they'll be playing at Duckon.

Ah yes...

[(Anonymous)]

some year I really should go to that one. chirosinger (of Riverfolk) goes almost every year, as do a number of Chicago area friends. I just always seem to be busy that time of year....

umm...

[themadblonde]

that was me up there....

See you at Wiscon and 4th St Fantasy!

[marykaykare.livejournal.com]

You can't go to Minicon! This is the first time in 5-6 years I'm not going. You can't. Oh, you're going to 4th Street. Okay. I'll see you there and at Wiscon of course. You know, Jordin and I were looking for something to do in April And I really enjoyed Penguicon last year. Hmm.

Somehow I got Omegacon on my schedule this year but then I'll run up to join you at Penguicon. And as for Penguicon, I look at it this way: don't do anything you don't want to. We can just run amok in the halls if you want.

I'm still deciding between Readercon and OddysseyCon, leaning toward Readercon. Hopefully I'll see you there and we can trade Due South tales!
