Got my schedule for Albacon this weekend, and it’s pretty packed. I expect it to be a cozy, friendly convention, and hope to see a bunch of you there.

Unlike most of my sf conventions, there won’t be a specific dealers’ room, but instead, a few dealers vending from their hotel rooms. Thus, Fantastic Books will be selling out of room… well, I don’t know the number yet. I think we’re all supposed to be on the first floor, near each other. But I’ll be on a lot of panels, so unless Michael wants to sit in the room selling books, we will only be open very limited hours. Look for a sign on the door.

And if you’re looking for me on programming, I won’t be hard to find:
