World Fantasy Convention 2010, Columbus OH

Post by dlbpharmd »

Details are limited to what you'll find at the link above. Columbus, OH is within driving distance for me, so I may try to go this year. Anyone interested in a KW get-together?

Yes! :) And I found this:

www.contextsf.org/WFC/

Registration is $125 through June 15th. The room rates at the convention hotel are $148/night. Of course, we could pick our own convention hotel. ;)

I think Romeo usually goes to WFC. And I think this is the con that Jenn went to last year in San Jose -- Jenn, are you going again this year?

Funny how he goes to this, even though he hates fantasy. ;)

So when Donaldson and Sweet are in the same room, do they glare at each other or what? Do lightning bolts scorch the air?

Nevertheless, wish I could be there.

It's a fun convention - I've been going since '96. And will, of course, be in Columbus next year. :-)

I'm starting to make plans. There's not alot of information available on programming, so I don't know what to expect, what's the best days to attend, etc. I would appreciate some pointers from Romeo and CJenn. ;)

For those who are considering attending, please bear in mind that registration rates jump from $125 to $150 on June 15. If you are going, there are savings to be had by getting registered NOW.

Wow, SD, good thing I registered a couple weeks ago, huh?

Also folks, keep in mind that if you can't afford the WFC, there seems to be something called the "Buckeye Book Fair"on Nov. 4-ish that was free last year and that SRD will also be at. So, all that you'd need to do is come! Making no absolute promises as of now, but I might be able to provide some transportation from the airport to your hotel, and possibly back again! ( I just need to figure out where that airport is :P )

Port Columbus International Airport is in the southern part of the city. I flew in and out of there several times in the last six months during my brief period of employment...

Columbus is a day's drive from Chez Aliantha. Hmm, I suppose I'd better decide whether I'm going...

Well I am out. I am going to my Dad's 70th birthday party later that month so I'll already be taking time off and spending my cash on flying to Virginia.
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....
