Balticon 2009

Balticon is a strange animal. I’ve been to the huge productions (OK, just one, but I’ve attended Dragon*Con regularly for many years) that are exciting and overwhelming, and I’ve been to small cons that have their awesome moments, but feel tired and drab much of the time. And then there’s Balticon.
I’m not sure of the [...]

However, as Converge South is happening in Greensboro right now, some talented people [...]

I Should Be Writing was taped live at DragonCon this year, to a packed room on a Saturday morning. It was low key and friendly and I answered a lot of questions.

DragonCon report

I suck at con reports. I think I say that every time. But hell, cons are so kinetic with many many people to see and many many things to do that I always fear I’ll leave something out, so I end up being overwhelmed and not making any kind of report.
