But the WorldCon is coming to Reno, Nevada in 2011, and I think I&#8217;m up for that one. When I do go to cons I spend most of my time in the shill rooms, but this time my dear\u00a0brother and I are getting a hotel room, and we&#8217;re planning on having a party or two. Having a WorldCon in Reno is going to be great!\u00a0 Hopefully the con folks will give me plenty of stuff to post about in the weeks leading up to the convention. Hope to see you there, and if you are planning on going, register to vote for the Hugos, read the nominees, and cast a vote!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though I went to SF convetnions in Washington DC occasionally when I was a boy, I am not much of a convention guy now.
