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.
