NanoCon Mark IV Report
I���ve returned from NanoCon Mark IV��and my stint as GOH. How about that?
It was a fun little con, held at Lower Columbia College, just across the river from Rainier. I���d guess attendance came in at about two hundred. I���d consider it a success. I sold out of Under Strange Suns. I cut my inventory of Reunionin half. I met a number of intelligent and interesting people.
Among these I���d count James Wells, the great grandson of H.G. Wells (or the great man himself with a time machine and a convincing American accent.) We exchanged novels, so I have The Great Symmetry on my to-read pile now.
I had an engaging chat with James Omelina who runs several escape rooms in the southwest Washington area. I���m intrigued to check one out. I hear good things about the entertainment value of well-designed escape room, and James appears to have the design aspect dialed in.
I even managed lunch at the Ashtown brewery, a few blocks away from the convention. Well worth it.
The organizers were kind enough to invite me to return next year. I do hope my schedule allows it.
