Brief Worldcon Update

Yeah, so in case you missed it, Worldcon is happening this weekend. I’m here in Anaheim, at the Anaheim Marriott, which is 400 feet or so from the convention center. Just taking a break to file a story for SCI FI Wire, and to email some of the interviews I did to myself, for backup reasons. So far, I interviewed Artist Guest of Honor James Gurney (about his new art portfolio, Home Planet), and Mike Resnick (about his new anthology, Space Cadets, which is a Worldcon publication). Details? You’ll have to wait for the SCI FI Wire stories, I’m afraid.

As for the con itself, it’s going quite well. Having a lot of fun chatting with all kinds of talented and important people. But enough blogging for now. Hey, I’m at Worldcon, I’m going to go do con stuff!
