If you're going to be in upper New York State (or thereabouts) this September 27-28...

You might want to check out RoberCon in Binghamton, NY

Why?

Because - in addition to being what sounds like a very nice, local SF convention that's focused on combining interest with affordability - they've foolishly asked me to be a featured Guest.

So there will be Hijinks.  Minion Ribbons.  And possibly an attendees-only surprise....  :-)
