I’m going down to LA, well, to Anaheim, for the The 64th World Science Fiction Convention, a.k.a. the (L.A. Con IV Worldcon). I’ll be arriving Thursday evening and leaving Saturday evening. While I’m there, I’m doing two panels, an autograph session and a reading. Here’s my schedule. Hope to see some of you guys there.
