Conventions

With WorldCon coming up I wanted to give this topic a bump.

Is anyone going to WorldCon?

In my Alternate Universe, all the conventions come to me. Much cheaper and more convenient.

Truth be told it was hit and miss overall in humor, but it had its moments, and Claudia does a surprisingly good Janeway.

Impersonating Janeway is easy. Just do Katherine Hepburn a few semitones lower in pitch.
Heh. Actually, I would like to have seen Kate Mulgrew do her one-woman show "Tea at Five", playing Hepburn. See http://www.chloeveltman.com/reviews/tea_at_five.html

Not going to WorldCon but I just got back from GenCon where I took part in Hickman's Killer Breakfast with special guest Gary Gygax

*geekgasm*.  For those that don't know Tracy Hickman every year does "Hickman's Killer Breakfast" where you play a bunch of level one characters in some d&D scenario and he basically kills you off quickly if you can't keep him amused.  Was a blast and one of the highlights of the con for me.

I spent approximately half of GenCon in workshops, seminars, or chatting with writers in one form or another.   Totally a blast.
