Ye olde move to New Mexico, Worldcon
Aug. 4th, 2008 10:50 pmI'll be gone from the 1st to the 12th, mostly in Colorado, except for this weekend when I'll be "awake" at 6 in the morning driving my sister's stuff to the middle of nowhere, New Mexico, where she has a teaching job on an Indian reservation. It's her first teaching job, 1st grade. I'm looking forward to seeing her bunker in the Pueblo chemical weapons depot: apparently the government made far more chemical weapons storage bunkers than they needed, so they rent the rest out for tiny sums. Bunkers! On a working military base with cameras and checkpoints and everything! The sister has multiple cars stored there and there's still room; I picture it as looking something like Dirk Pitt's house.
( The above paragraph is old news: here is what actually happened (Imagine that you're a really good precog) )
Anyway, the important bit here is, I'll be going to Worldcon in Denver, arriving at the convention Wednesday morning. I'll be rooming with
elisem in the hotel numbered 2, the Crowne Plaza, and I'll be at the Making Light party on Friday evening. Aside from that, no schedule yet, though I may be at the Hugo announcing thing to see how my votes went. Who else is going to be at the con? (If you're not going, want me to pick anything up for you?) I want to see you! Call me!
