It's a good time to mention this

So finding out a couple of my favorite people are going to FOGCon this year reminded me to tell you all that not only am I going, I think you should go, too. They didn't ask or pay me to say that, but FOGCon 1 last year was my very first science fiction con, and I loved it, even though I am not much of a fan, so since most of you are much more fannish than I, I think you'll like it a lot. Plus, I'll be there, and I'll have my own room and no family-of-origin hanging around, so I'll have time to sit quietly in the consuite and knit while waiting for you to come say hi to me. Can't tell me that doesn't sound like fun, now can you? Don't answer that.

Anyway, it's in the East Bay this time (though not any nearer to me than the previous one), the hotel is reasonably priced (though they may still be renovating the lobby while we're there), and honestly, some of the smartest, most aware people I know will be there, and they enriched my life last year. I expect they'll do the same this year.

Plus, maybe this year I won't be doing the con on zero sleep after evacuating my family for a possible tidal wave.

(Which brings me to mention that Doctors Without Borders was my place of choice to send tsunami relief funds, and they can always use more help.)
