Three conventions, no waiting

Are you heading to ConRunner, Midwestcon, or ApolloCon this weekend? Reno in 2011 agents will be in England, Ohio, and Texas, listening, talking, and partying with fans. They'll gladly take your money, too. :-)
Look for our UK Agent, Steve Cooper, at ConRunner in Wolverhampton. It's the first non-US convention we'll be at, but it's far from the last! The vote is in Montréal, after all....
On Saturday night, Jim Mann, Laurie Mann, and Ben Yalow are hosting a Reno party at Midwestcon in Cincinnati. Look for flyers announcing the room number, or just ask -- last year, three different people I didn't know each told me where the Montréal and Australia parties were. Nice!
ApolloCon Fan GoH Anne KG Murphy is representing Reno in Houston-- we'll likely post a special report about our activities there sometime on Saturday. Maybe even with a picture or three....
If you're like me and spending the weekend at home, wishing you were at any or all of the above, please take a minute and swing by the Reno in 2011 website for a quick convention fix. We've updated it with links to pictures and mini-reports from Balticon, BayCon, ConQuesT, Marcon, WisCon, and Fourth Street Fantasy Convention. There are a few other new things, too -- where we'll be next, an updated supporter list, agents' names, and such. As always, we'll gladly take your money on the website, too.
Seriously -- many, many thanks for the active, positive support we've received this past month, the first month of the bid. The Reno in 2011 Worldcon bid already has over 160 Supporters, Friends, and Really Close Friends. Your contributions make the parties and other fun surprises possible. I'm looking forward to helping us all have a mountainous good time in Denver.
See you on the Funway!

Though there's the risk that it would turn into a pseudo-Rorschach test. Especially if we add in Rennie's cousin, coming soon to a Worldcon near you. I think we'll just stick with a naming contest for him instead. We were going to have a naming contest for Rennie, but the bag seems to have named itself.

Date: 2008-06-27 03:43 pm (UTC)What about "Sort of friends?"
"Not a friend, but I'm dating one of your friends?"
"Only a friend in the LiveJournal Sense?"
"It was just a crush, anyway?"
"Oh, just have the money!"
"Wait, I joined what?"

I asked if I could bring an insignificant other. They were amused and said yes. And I called the play correctly -- David Emerson was utterly delighted to be my insignificant other that day, and for years after, too. The feeling was mutual.
