In two days I’ll be at my first ever WorldCon. It’s the first SFF con I’ve ever gone to, though not the first con by a long shot. I’ll be traveling with Aimee Ogden, who just sold three short stories last week, like a rock star, and who I totally won’t be killing and eating to absorb her powers.
I went through the WorldCon schedule and ended up choosing 83 things that I was interested in. They issue you a time-turner when you pick up your badge, right? That’s going to be a thing? There’s absolutely no way to choose between How Do Fungi Turn Plants into Zombies and Futuristic Crime Investigations and Earth. We’re Stuck Here! and Pacing the Novel and the Star Trek promenade and Lightning Talks, for example, and all of those are just on Wednesday at 3pm.
Anyway, if you plan to be there, drop me a line! Perhaps we’ll cross paths at some point. Watch this space in a week for a post-con recap and, if I get around to it, perhaps even a travel vlog.
