My Nebula weekend

[karen_w_newton]

I made it to the Nebulas! I have never been to a “Nebula Weekend” before. For a long time I thought you had to be in SFWA to go (you don't, except for the SFWA business meeting itself).

That would probably be a good idea, but right now it looks like my next visit will be on the week of the Fourth of July in New York. WIll have to time things better next time!

Sounds like you had a blast!

[karen_w_newton]

I did! It was a sort of min-con but cozier.
