My 2011 is starting with a hat trick of conventions: Arisia, Capricon, and Boskone!

If you're going to be at Arisia, Capricon, and/or Boskone, please comment. If you're thinking about any of them, c'mon along! It's been too long since I've seen too many of you.

I'm coordinating the Fan Tables at Arisia, helping fete the FanGoHs at Cap while also doing various Chicon 7 Smof-type things, no doubt, and hosting a Poppyseed Cake Tasting & NESFA Press Book Launch tea party at Boskone. Big Fun and then some, I trust.

Thanks to excellent fares on JetBlue to Chicago and free MegaBus seats from there, I'll be in Minneapolis for a few short days in order to catch the 1-act play Gavi is directing on Friday, January 28th. Serendipitously, the timing may just coincide with a branding brainstorming meeting a new client there. Fingers crossed they like the proposal I'm working on this weekend.

Winter is far from my favorite time to spend in the midwest, but making a single, long trip is allowing me to be at both Gavi's 1-act and Capricon...and also at part of the Chicon 7 meeting the last weekend in January. There's an Chicon 7 open meeting/social gathering Saturday night, January 29th -- mark your calendars, Chicagoans and likely suspects. Location TBA; I'll be sure to post it here.

All of these plans are putting the win in winter. Whee!
