Came across this web-site the other day: Robert A. Heinlein Centennial.
With all the Dopers who are interested in RAH, are any planning on going to the Centennial?
I wish I could, first I heard of it.
I like the Guest List:
Apollo XI astronaut **Buzz Aldrin **
NASA Administrator Dr. Michael Griffin
Spider Robinson, co-author (with Robert Heinlein) of Variable Star and much more
Sir Arthur C. Clarke, joining us via video
X Prize Founder **Dr. Peter Diamandis **
X Prize pilot **Brian Binnie **
**Jeanne Robinson ** will update us on her Stardance zero-gee dance film
Astrophysicist, author & Heinlein associate Yoji Kondo will be presenting the Heinlein Award
Author, gadfly and filmmaker J. Neil Schulman - and we’ll be screening his new film “Lady Magdalene’s” right after the Gala!
6Hugo nominee John Scalzi
The man who folded himself, **David Gerrold **
Science fiction’s newest Grand Master Nebula Award winner, James E. Gunn
Science Fiction Writer’s Association President (and our Master of Ceremonies) Robin Wayne Bailey
I seriously thought about going this year. But it’s a long way, and to be honest I was a little worried about it being a letdown. My biggest reason for going was to simply celebrate the man’s 100th birthday in style, but I’m not really the convention type.
There will be at least some observation at Comic-Con, so we will be there to celebrate the Old Man’s accomplishments. This is a big year for anniversaries: 30 years (Star Wars), 10 years (Buffy), 100 years (Heinlein)…going to be fun.
AUGH!
IF I had known at the beginning of the year, my wife would have insisted I go. She knows how important RAH and his work is to me.
Heck, I finally started donating blood regularly, largely out of a sense of obligation to The Master and his memory.
Dang it.
If I weren’t helping run our convention that weekend (InConJunction XXVII) I might’ve tried to. However, I’ll be busy. 
If any Dopers want to show up in Indianapolis at a convention that weekend though, I’ll be around.
