From the weekend

[vostoklake]

ME: Yeah, I'll be back over here in September next year for the World SciFi con.
AUSTRALIAN SOCIALIST: What do you do at a science fiction convention?
ME: What are we doing at this conference we're at now?
AUSTRALIAN SOCIALIST: Discussing and sharing information about socialism and meeting other socialists.
ME: Well then. Substitute "sci-fi" for "socialism" and you've got it. You also missed out "getting drunk and scoring", which is also applicable to both cases.

Same here. I and jlms said yesterday, as we packed our stuff when we left the UK Eastercon, that it is time we start planning properly for travelling to Australia next year to attend AussieCon 4. So our attendance is 75% probable, if I dare to make a guess.

Really? Well, listen up and listen tight. I have the honour to be on the comm for the 2010 NZ NatCon (http://aucontraire.randomstatic.net/), which is being held the weekend before AussieCon 4 so that all your international guests can stop over on your way to scenic Melbourne...

A distinct possibility, of course, but I don't know anyone in NZ fandom who won't be busy running the con. We'll have to think about it.
