Conning the city of angels

[shunn]

I am confirmed as a program participant for L.A.con IV, the 64th World Science Fiction Convention. I don't know yet what I'll be doing on the program, but I will be at the con in Anaheim all five days, from August 23rd to 27th. I hope you will be too. (A lot of people don't like L.A. much, but I love it, as only someone who moved far away as a young child can.)

As a program participant, I get complimentary memberships for me and my wife. But since I had purchased one before getting added to program, I now have one Worldcon membership for sale. It can be yours for $175, which is exactly what I paid for it.

UPDATE:  The membership is tentatively spoken for. If this changes, I will post about it again.

For me WorldCons are never as fun as Nebula weekends. Trevor and I get to see the inside of a convention center during the daylight hours when the rest of the staff is having a good time "working," and, at night, as long as I can stay awake, I try to explore whatever city we're in. It sucks!

This year I was smart enough to make my vacation the week before WorldCon, though, so I'll have time to screw around in LA with Bianca before I get stuck in the hotel/con center.

Excellent! So you'll have scoped out all the great hangs!

We're making a ten-day pilgrimage through San Francisco, Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur, and, finally, LA.

The Con is actually in Anaheim, right? Is that so close to LA that it might as well be LA?

It's Orange County, but it's still close enough that they can get away with calling it L.A.con. At least, when the traffic's good. It's, like, half an hour from LAX. At least, when the traffic's good.

That's excellent. We actually did a five day jaunt through CA from LA to Napa/Sonoma and it was a lot of fun. I think our best trips are when we explore.
