We'll see - I'll have to balance family (at that time there will be a 1 yr old and a 4 yr old), vacation time, and spending $$. Unfortunately, I predict that that answer will be at this point in my life I just can't afford (in time and $$) to travel to something like that. But we'll see.Nethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963540055415924510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-76894822046944155912010-05-22T16:48:44.997-07:002010-05-22T16:48:44.997-07:00was good to see you there, Ken!

Just a quick note, I wanted to tell you that though it was good you came, this con was not anywhere near the caliber of what you'd see at the annual Worldcon. To put it another way, I wouldn't part with the $40 for a membership at this one, but have no problem spending $200 for the Worldcon one. I can't recommend it enough to you. If at all possible, you should try to make Reno.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03148938232780899000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-5046600975386446172010-05-21T20:59:24.180-07:002010-05-21T20:59:24.180-07:00That is great Neth!

I did meet GRRM, but I was so shy that I mumbled something and he signed Clash of Kings for me. I did have a great chat with Tad Williams (one of my favorite authors) and Nathalie Mallet. I will always remember that!<br /><br />JenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-40436128306052641492010-05-21T11:05:30.181-07:002010-05-21T11:05:30.181-07:00It sounds really fun.

They are almost always memorable. <br /><br />I am going to Conquest next weekend with a friend who is a big George R.R. Martin fan because George always shows up to this one every year. Will be fun to meet him.Carl V.

Well and truly justified.<br /><br />I too was surprised at JordanCon by how popular costuming is.<br /><br />The WorldCon this year is in Melbourne in September. I've enrolled and have to get around to booking accommodation and flights. But in 2011 it will be in Reno, Nevada - not that far away from you. :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.com
