Poll of the Day > Anyone else here headed to WorldCon?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Or for those who are not aware of it, the World Science Fiction Convention, to give it its full name?

It's in Dublin, this year, in two weeks' time, & membership sales stop tomorrow, except for exchanges & in-person sales at a local convention before this one...

So, given the regular worldwide membership, who here is going this year?

Me, I tend to make it every other year; gives me time to save for a hotel room & lets me skip the ones that usually wind up being in the US (they're too far away & it's too much hassle for me - San Jose in August would've killed me). Last one I attended was Helsinki... Lots, lots of fun. Exhausting, but worth it. So?

Nope, but I'm at GenCon this week.

I've seen the advertising for that one, but never been. It's not so easy for me to travel outside Europe unaided as it used to be - much as I miss doing so!

Hoping to meet anyone in particular? I love Worldcons especially because I know so many people there, it's like a big meet to make new friends & spend time with old ones

Eh, there are some people we know here but no specific plans to meet up. It is just fun to be in a place surrounded by such a huge cross-section of fandom/geekdom. I also love the fact that GenCon has been here for so long that the entire city just rolls with it, or at least the parts around the convention center.
