FYI - Vericon
Recently I've discovered that Harvard University hosts a convention January 27-29th - Vericon.
At the same time I discovered this bit of information, another one came to my attention - this year, George R. R. Martin is the guest of honor.
Other attendees include: Sarah Smith, Sharyn November (sdn), Henry Jenkins, Randy Milholland (Something Positive) along with a host of other webcomic artists (they of Ctrl+Alt+Del and Dominic Deegan), a bunch of authors I've not read yet, and a further bunch of RPG peoples.
In addition to the speakers, it appears to be something of a Geek Mecca, as you can see for yourselves by looking at the schedule here.
Addmission for the whole con is $25 if you're a student, $35 if you're not.
As I'm already in the area, I've decided to attend. If anyone else is planning on attending, it'd be fun to meet up. If anyone else is interested in signings and stuff, leave a comment and I'll see what I can arrange.
