See You In Roanoke

Next weekend I will be heading off to MystiCon, in Roanoke, Virginia, where I'll be a Guest of Honor. A new con for me, and a new part of the country (it's been on my schedule since 2013).

They have a website at http://mysticon-va.com/ with a list of all the other guests -- but, alas, it says there that they are sold out, so if you're not signed up, you may be out of luck.

I am looking forward to spending some time with old friends there, and to making some new ones.

Truth be told, I need a good con just about now. I am tired and I am stressed, and I am so so so sick of the toxic rancor that more and more seems to characterize the internet.

So... let's raise a few glasses and have a few laughs at MystiCon, and try to remember why we love science fiction, fandom, and each other.
