So, I will be going to some Cons.


I have a ticket for New York Comic Con on the Sunday, October 13th. It'll be my second NYCC, after 2011, and my expectations are not all that high. NYCC is one of those giant floor shows at the Javits Center where you wander around for hours amidst giant crowds getting little tiny tastes of things. I never really like those, even though I've been going to the Auto Show for years. So basically my hope is that I'll have a couple of interesting interactions.

I'll be going to Philcon for the full weekend, November 8-10th, and for that my expectations are higher. It's my home SF con and this'll be my third or fourth straight year going depending on whether you count a cameo four years ago where I showed up, blundered into a game of Dread, and then went home. Philcon is awesome. I'm looking forward to a place where in one weekend I'll be able to play board games and rpgs, sing filk, buy, read, and talk about SF fiction, argue about comic books, and dream about the future. Also, maybe this will be the year when the hotel doesn't put me higher than the tenth floor on Shabbat.

And in most exciting news of all, I bought a membership to the 2014 Worldcon in London. I have never been to London. I have never been to Europe. The whole thing is very, very exciting to me. Tell me what I should do when I'm in London besides be a giant nerd? Also, I anticipate the whole thing being quite expensive, so if you know other people who are going and who might to share a hotel room let me know.
