Shiny!  I've always found Worldcon to be worth the trip.  Meeting new
friends and seeing old ones.  Lots of great panels.  In Chicago, we
had a very unexpected encounter with David Brin as we wandered the
exhibit hall.  Managed to spend some time with an old friend we hadn't
seen in years and years (had to put us on her schedule, she was so
busy!)

As time draws near, Jay or I will post something here about how to
find us at con. Heck, maybe we will throw a room party.
