The World Science Fiction Convention is in Denver this year. Any Dopers planning to attend?

Everyone is invited to my house for a kegger!\*

Or maybe we could all meet downtown somewhere.

\*Joking of course. If you’re at the Con, why would you go somewhere else?

This thread should be a sticky up until August, otherwise there will be a dozen of them in the coming months, and we won’t see/respond to them all.

I don’t know yet. It will largely depend on whether I can find some means of money coming into my possession at a greater rate then it is leaving. I may end up working in the dealer’s room again for some friends.

I’m not that interested in the convention, although I might be talked into a kegger.
