See You in Reno?
13/8/11 10:12On Tuesday I'm off to Renovation, the Worldcon being held in Reno. I've never been to Reno, but based on my experience of Los Angeles, I expect the people-watching to be lush. On Wednesday I'm going to Virginia City with
scarlettina,
kateyule, and
davidlevine. Thereafter I will be at the con, doing Con-things. If you're looking for me, I will be most easily found at the following places or, failing that, in the bar or dealer's room. See you there!
