I'll be at Westercon on Friday and Saturday. Friday night I'm helping out with the London in 2014 party (co-hosted by Westercon 66), and otherwise I'll just be hanging out. Hope to see some of you there!
Ha! I think you've just outed yourself as an Old Phart, Don.
Westercon has never been a convention close to my heart, but I'm not sure why not. When I first came into fandom, I went to most of the ones that were held in the Northwest, but I think I've only been to one outside my home region -- 1987 in Oakland, which was a memorable trip for me, although not necessarily because of the convention. I'm actually thinking of going to the one in Sacramento next year because of who's running it.
Anyway, I haven't even been keeping up with Northwest Westercons lately, but I was asked to help out with the London in 2014 party this year. Now I'm looking forward to it in a way I hadn't anticipated. We'll see how it goes.
