I've emailed them and I am waiting for more info (rates) and a floor map to pick out my tables. But until I have mailed off a check I don't want to count my "ravens" before they hatch. ;-)

I think you should come to WesterCon and/or Conjecture in San Diego to just have some fun.

(what? I'm on the committees... gotta pimp the cons!)

You are way slack on the pimping. Real pimping would have given the URLs to those cons. :-D

I would like to do some of the bigger regional cons but it is just crazy for me to drive 4-5 days each way to a con. Even shipping and flying is a bit much. Or shipped stuff and flew out it would just not be feasable. Trust me I have thought about it, I jut can't get the numbers to crunch in a positive cash flow for it.

hey, I'm at work... typing html is a PITA here at work... slow network, not easily loading the sites... etc... I will post them when I get home tonight.

Besides, I wasn't suggesting that you come to *sell* at those cons... I was suggesting that you come have *fun* and just hang out at those cons!

Fun at a con? What a novel concept. LOL! I should I did go out to Las Vegas this year for a con of sorts for signatures. What I picked up shopping wise paid for the trip. I'll seriously think about it.

Conjecture in San Diego - http://www.conjecture.org/ (yes, I know the website is much suckage right now... I will be saying something at our next meeting)

Wow I haven't seen Holly at a con in years. Would be tempting but again I have to see what the stars hold.
