Who is going to….

I have a headache tonight. The kind of headache that’s making me want to drill a hole in my head so I can let off some of the pressure. Or stick a fork in my eye to give me something else to think about.

So you aren’t getting a review. I can’t think straight. You don’t want me reviewing anything when I’m like this.

Instead I’m going to ask you all a question.

WHO IS GOING TO WESTERCON? 

Anyone?

Anyone?

Buehler?

Westercon (happening July 3-5 in Salt Lake City in conjunction with FantasyCon) will be my very first con, and I am kind of nervous/excited. I’m nervous for a few reasons:

1. I have no idea what to expect.

2. I suck at being social, so I have a feeling I’ll walk around for ten minutes feeling lost and then leave because I don’t know what the hell to do with myself.

3. I think I’m going alone. My husband might come with me, but he cares about books roughly as much as I care about games (not much) so I think I’m probably going alone.

I’m excited because I rarely, if ever, get to actually connect with other people in this genre IN PERSON, and the opportunity to do that is something I can’t pass up.

Some very cool authors will be there, but so far I haven’t heard from anyone else going to it to visit said authors. I’m afraid that it’s going to be me in a room with a bunch of authors who look at me like I’m crazy. I know there has to be more than one reader (me) attending. There have to be more people going.

THERE HAS TO BE.

So I’m wondering who you are, fellow genrebuffs who are going to Westercon. Who are you? What are you excited about? In general, what should I expect?

Enlighten me, my readers, because so far the radio silence regarding Westercon is scaring me.
