Upcoming Conventions and Report
I am tracking the upcoming conventions that I plan to attend. Con Reports are at the bottom of this page.
Note: If there is a convention that you would like to see me attend, or if you just want to get togehter, let me know and we'll work something out.
July 2008
InConJunction 18 (July 4-6, 2008) Sheraton Hotel & Suites, Indianapolis, Indian. Website: http://www.inconjunction.org/
Confirmed - I will be attending InConJunction and participating on seven panels.
August 2008
World of Faeries Festival (Aug 2-3, 2008) Vasa Park, South Elgin, IL. website: http://www.theworldoffaeries.com/
Many of you know that I have a Celt ancestry (actually, we believe my Irish ancestry is Pict, which predates the Celts). As such I have an affinity toward the world of Pixies, Leprechauns, and all things elfin. This will be our first year attending the World of Faeries Festival and while the festival is both days, we will be attending only on Saturday.
No con activity is currently planned for August, 2008. The cons which I know about either conflict with World of Faeries or are located Far, Far Away.
