Off to Worldcon
Once a year SF writers and geeks and SF writer geeks get social and gather for the World Science Fiction Convention or short “worldcon”. I participated in my first worldcon in 2007 when it happened for the first time in Asia – in Yokohama, Japan. Since then the worldcon has been in Denver, Montreal, Melbourne and Reno, and this year the 70th worldcon will happen in Chicago. I couldn’t make it to Melbourne and Reno so this will be my first worldcon in 3 years and I’m very much looking forward to it.
5 days together with some 5000 like-minded nerds! Yeah!
WiFi and time permitting, I plan to tweet and blog from the convention.
I’m flying to the US tomorrow and flying from the US to Japan is always fun, since I will time travel and arrive before I leave. If everything is on schedule I will leave Tokyo on Sunday the 26th at 16:30 and arrive in Chicago on Sunday the 26th at 14:00. Cool. On my way back to Tokyo I will of course loose that day again 
I’m allowing myself three days of sightseeing and non-Asian sized clothes shopping in Chicago before the worldcon starts on the 30th of August.
De ha, itte kimasu!
