Seattle! I am here!

It's time for Emerald City Comic-Con, Seattle's very own answer to the fact that San Diego has become the Mordor of Nerds! It's an awesome three day event in lovely downtown Seattle, and once again, I'm going to be bringing down the house in my own inimitable (and occasionally awkward) fashion.

I have one program item this year: "Beyond the Genre in Genre Fiction" on Friday morning at 11:40am. I am appearing with a bunch of truly awesome people, including Kory Bing, who some among you may remember as the illustrator for the InCryptid Field Guide. I am super excited! You should come!

If you can make the con but can't make my panel, I'll be around throughout the weekend, and am happy to sign things if spotted. Or if not spotted, but then the things may not belong to you.

Emerald City!

Is San Diego the Mordor of Nerds because one can’t simply walk there?

One does not simply...walk...into San Diego Comic-Con.

I'm an extrovert and I love people and the thought of SDCC makes me cringe. I much prefer a convention where you might be able to encounter your favorite author/authors in the hallway without having to first pay a huge fee to talk to them. (I understand the purpose of such fees—after all, they only have so much time—but oh my.)

Same here. I mean, seriously, SDCC has a higher population than the city I live in.

(Though nothing near the metro area population; Cambridge is only a small part of that, and Boston itself is somewhere over 800K I think.)
