The Bi-annual (every two year, semi-annual would be twice a year)
North American Discworld Convention is being organized for next Summer, and it will be in Baltimore, in a
beautiful port side hotel (right next to the water!). The dates are July 5-8, 2013, but I'll arrive a day early to enjoy the 4th of July in Baltimore (I'm sure there will be fireworks out over the water).
In September 2009 I attended the first
NADWCON in Tempe, Arizona, I was blown away by all the fun and costumes. We had a Klatch (Middle Eastern) inspired
banquet, complete with belly dancers:

Sir Terry was amazed by the belly dancers!
So last year, July 2011, I went to Madison, Wisc. for the second
NADWCON, and it was even better (of course I had actual
costumes to wear, but really everything was even better!). We had crafting classes to make our own
Nac Mac Feegles, and Neil Gaiman came to join Terry Pratchett on a trip down memory lane:

We had a Night in Quirm themed banquet, and a million things to see and do.
I don't know what all will be planned for Baltimore, but I just assume it will be incredibly fun!
