Next Wednesday sees the opening of the 66th annual World Science Fiction Convention in Denver. We’re really excited - having never been to anything like this, we’ll have the opportunity to see/listen to and possibly meet some of our favorite writers.

There’s a huge number of authors coming including Lois McMaster Bujold, Larry Niven, David Brin, Connie Willis (who lives about 20 miles from here), Elizabeth Moon, Robert Silverberg and a ton of others. It should be great fun (moreso than that other convention happening here a few weeks later).

The event runs from August 6-10th at the Colorado Convention Center, and one day memberships range from $35 to $85 depending on the day (and wouldn’t you know it but the day we’re going down is an $85 day).
