2008 Conventions...

[agilebrit]

My cup appears to be runneth-ing over. We have:

• Life, the Universe, and Everything -- Feb 14-16, in Provo. This one is free, Orson Scott Card and Gail Carson Levine are the GoH's, and all my local friends are going to be there. Seriously, a no-brainer, of course I'm going. If anyone wants autographs, let me know or send me stuff.
  
• CONduit -- May 23-25, in SLC. I don't know who Michael Stackpole is, but last year's CONduit was chock full of writing panels and information and fun, so... yeah. And TRAX stops right in front of the hotel.
  
• WorldCon -- Aug 6-10, in Denver. With Lois McMaster Bujold being the GoH and the thing being practically in my backyard, I'm really lusting after this one. However, since it's not exactly in my backyard, I will need to get a hotel room and feed myself somehow. I'm not sure I'd need a car.
  
• MountainCon -- sometime in Sept, in SLC. Again, I live here, no-brainer.

And then there's the World Horror Convention, which is making its home in SLC Mar 27-30. I'm still debating this one, since I'm not a "horror writer" per se and I'm sure that stranger people than I'm used to are going to be attending this thing. So, even though it's here, I'm not sure I want to go.

AND THEN...does anyone know if there's going to be a writercon next year?

AUGH.

Well, if I get plans to WorldCon solidified (I'm lobbying hard for it), I'll put out a general call to my flist and invite y'all to send me stuff to get autographed. :)

I found an old paperback copy of Ender's Game at a used bookstore for something like $2, and it's totally worth buying.

I shall hope that you get to attend everything your heart desires! An autographed Bujold would be a cherished item!
