Thank you so much! I'll definitely post about it - I'll be trying to get pictures, too! I hope you'll be posting about your adventures at Dragon*Con. It should be great this year.

I went to my first (away, multi-day) con in 18 years recently (Historicon in Lancaster). I think it was held the same weekend as Otakon.

I think I might go to Baltimore Comic Con this year, I got the bug.

Fantastic! Congrats on being bitten by the bug. ;) This is my twelfth con (if I don't count separately cons I've attended more than once), and next year, MarsCon will be my thirteenth. I really enjoy taking part in them! I hope you make it to Baltimore Comic Con this year.

Well it's not like I have to travel very far :)

Have fun at the WorldCon! Sounds like you're going to be busy. :)

Thanks! I think it will be wonderful.

You have a schedule already?? Well done you! We're in Montreal sightseeing before the con and enjoying it in a laid-back way - I may well make it to the apocalypse panel and heckle you there :)

eldritchhobbit August 4 2009, 16:02:22 UTC

I'm headed that way now! It sounds like the weather's great there. I do hope to get to see you - please introduce yourself if you come to my talk or one of my panels. (We Qui-Gon fans must stick together! LOL.) Have a fantastic time!

If you ever do a con out this way, I am SO there! Thought I'd mention that I am going to see (I think, still working out details) a performance of "Ray Bradbury's Yestermorrows" this Friday. And I have an advance screening of District 9 this weekend. Woo hoo. ;o)

Thank you so much! It would be fantastic to meet you in person. It's been a couple of years since I lectured at UCLA - I really need to get back out to your neck of the woods! I would love to hear more about the Ray Bradbury event - please enjoy it for me, too. It sounds fantastic! And I'll be interested to know what you think of District 9. It's generated so much buzz, and I'd love to know your opinion of it.

Yes... UCLA... good idea! And you'd be welcome to stay in my guest room. I'm only about 15 mintues from UCLA. ;o)

Forgot to mention, I also have this on tap this week. Another event you'd probably like!
