I'll be at the 54th annual Lunacon in Rye Brook, NY this weekend, which promises to be a fun time, headlined by Hugo-nominee Lawrence M. Schoen and Artist GoH Rachael Mayo. There's a Masquerade (of course), a blood drive, and gaming, filking, and all fun stuff, and of course, they always have awesome sf folks.

They put me on a couple of cool panels, so if you're in the neighborhood, stop on by.

Personal disclosure: The New York Science Fiction Society (aka, the Lunarians), which organizes Lunacon, gave me a partial scholarship to attend the Clarion writing workshop in 1993. I had quit my part-time tech job to attend Clarion, so having that money meant a great deal to me, and I've always wished I could do more to pay that forward; this year, at least I was able to work out my work schedule so I could attend. If you're a NY-area sf type, hope you will too.
