I am typing this from the comfort of my hotel room in Arlington, VA, where the current World Fantasy Convention is being held. It’s been a long day of travel, sight-seeing, book-bag stuffing, good food and good scotch, but I thought I’d post here and let you guys know what’s up! So tomorrow (Thursday) I am …
So LonCon3 was pretty awesome. I haven’t had a chance to write about it yet since I had to rush off to another con, but I’ll try to dredge up some memories now. The venue (the ExCel center in the Docklands of London) might well have been called Spaceball One for how long it took …

Or: Driving through nowhere to get to somewhere. Author’s Note: I recently took a trip to Death Valley National Park, which lies on the eastern border of California. I went there ostensibly to do research for a story, but also because I’ve always loved the outdoors and I really wanted to visit. I went with …
There is a perfectly reasonable explanation for how I ended up in a Chinese dumpling restaurant outside Toronto singing Jonathan Coulton’s Still Alive a cappella with Amber Scott to a table full of bemused women. It goes something like this: On Wednesday my Wonderful Mother and I flew to Toronto for World Fantasy. World Fantasy …
What: AnthroCon Where: Pittsburgh, PA, USA When: June 14th-16th 2012 Report: As previously described, AnthroCon is a furry convention, which means it’s about three times as fun as any other kind of convention.
