A common theme in the Armcast (dead sexy horror) Podcast is the host talking about the various conventions he goes to. I’m so jealous. Many years ago, I think 1994, I went to a science fiction convention in Baltimore. What a blast! I got to meet:
- Charles Sheffield
- David Feintuch
- Larry Niven (I think I scared him…)
- Senior editor for TOR books (forget his name, hehe — he had a beard)
I got to see Stephen Baxter speak on a panel about something or other (he’s British, no beard).
Totally going to a con again in the next year. In the meantime, I’ll continue to live vicariously through Hugh Howey and Armand Rosamilia and other authors who share their experiences.

I’ve never been to a con. I’d love to go to ComicCon but I’m kind of an extreme introvert so the idea of going is also terrifying.
You’d be in a room with other introverts. Which makes the phrase “they’re more scared of you than you are of them” actually true 🙂
lol that’s good to know
