This weekend is Arisia, one of my favorite annual conventions (it's the really big one in Boston). I've posted my schedule (including the party I'm hosting) on my blog. Hope to see some of you there!

Almost forgot, this is a convention weekend. I'll be in Boston, for Arisia this weekend ( Read more... )

Oh, by the way, I'll be at Philcon this weekend, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. (Yeah, I know, I should have posted earlier. Life, work, etc ( Read more... )

I spent my one day at New York Comic Con today, but didn't bother taking any pictures (1. it was too crowded; 2. I only had one day, so I wasn't slowing down to take pictures; 3. I figure there are already a gazillion others you can go look at). It was an overwhelming experience, because unlike most of my friends who have many years experience at ( Read more... )

I'm temporarily back home, but leaving again Friday, this time for Capclave. If you're going to be in the Gaithersburg, Maryland, area, check out this good science fiction convention that focuses on the written stuff. And if you're there looking for me, I'll be in the dealers' room at the Fantastic Books table (Friday, 4-7pm; Saturday 10am-6pm; and ( Read more... )

Another weekend, another convention. The next month is going to be filled with opportunities for me to get exhausted.

This weekend, it's a new one for me: Ravencon, in Richmond, Virginia. As always, I'll be spending a lot of time at the Fantastic Books table in the dealers' room. And since we're launching three books this weekend (Allen Steele's " ( Read more... )

Just found out I've got a table in the dealers' room at the Steampunk World's Fair, THIS weekend in Piscataway, New Jersey. Anyone planning to go and looking for a roommate? I don't have a reservation yet, and I gather the convention hotels have long been sold out, but if someone's got half a room to let, let me know. Otherwise, I'll have to find ( Read more... )

It's another convention weekend. This time, it's close to home, as I'm off to Westchester for Lunacon.

I don't have my own dealers' table (talk to me privately if you want to know why), but I'll be hanging out at the Larry Smith Bookseller table with some of my Fantastic Books books ( Read more... )

After a month of no conventions (frakkin' December), it's back to the "grind" (actually, it's one of the much more enjoyable parts of this job): a science fiction convention this weekend. This time, it's Arisia in the Westin Boston Waterfront hotel. Arisia, for those who haven't been, is one of the big ones (last year, there were more than 3,200 ( Read more... )

Getting ready to get back on the road: I'm headed back to Massachusetts, for Boskone this weekend. Actually, I'm headed back to the same hotel I was at last month for Arisia. This is my annual trip to cognitive dissonance: back-to-back science fiction conventions in the same hotel (the dealers' room is in the same physical space) one month apart, ( Read more... )
