Chicon 7

I'm going, is anyone else?

Want to. Not sure on the finances with my job change and my sick relatives. I'm going to miss about half a week of income, which was about what I expected it to cost.

But I really want to. I promised a Hudson Hawk showing.

I'll be there!

I'll be there.

we should have some sort of meet up. A looooooosers club. <img src="

That's no way to think of ourselves. We're all great, it's just everyone else doesn't know it yet.

I'll be there.

No losers club though, that's a self fulfilling prophecy, Bob.

I'd be glad to meet up with you guys. Or swap schedules - see if we'll have anything together.

I'll be there.

you know all those oooooo in looser are satirical

Once the Chicon schedule comes out, we'll have to pick a time and place for a WOTF meet up.

When do they typically post schedules?

This is my first Worldcon...

Mine too, but I'm expecting to see a schedule in July. That should give us plenty of time to plan.

Oh, you optimistic people. It'd be nice to get a con schedule in July, but this is a fan run con and it could be August before we see a panel schedule. That said, last time I was in Chicago for a Worldcon I had a pretty good time and the venue is nice and compact. It won't be a con with death marches like in San Jose.

I will be there. You'll likely run into other previous winners as well.

I'll be there, and Brad promised I could polish his Hugo Award if he wins.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Bwhahahahahaha!

I originally wrote "his rocket" but changed it to avoid the double entendre. I guess I underestimated the group's ability to find inuendo . . .

Well all my preparations are done, membership, hotel room, and now airline tickets purchased. I am so excited.

Just saw this - I'll be there!

I will be attending Chicon as well--hope to see everyone there.

Yeah, I kinda thought I'd go.

Welcome to the forums, Mike.

Well, Mr. Resnick if you didn't go I think the Con Committee might be a tad disappointed. (And a lot of fans.)

They tell me I am on a ballot of some sort.

Ah, what the hey, might as well go.

Someone tell me they are live streaming the Hugo's for heaven's sake! If so, I'll be there, chomping on my claws for you, Brad.

I'd like to, but I don't think it's in the cards.

Mr. Resnick, if I were going to read just one book of yours which would you suggest?

"Mr. Resnick, if I were going to read just one book of yours which would you suggest?"

I hate singling any one out; they're all my children.

If you want my bestseller, SANTIAGO made the NYTimes list and was continuously in print
for 25 years. If you want my most-honored, KIRINYAGA has 67 major and minor awards
and nominations. If you want the author's favorite, it's THE OUTPOST (which sank without a
trace back in 2001).

I don't know how easy or difficult those titles are to find, but I have one coming out at
Chicon that's pretty representative. It's the GOH book, to be published by Isfic Press with
a Vincent diFate cover, titled WIN SOME, LOSE SOME, and contains my 30 short fiction
Hugo nominees -- 5 winners, 24 losers, one as yet undecided.

And I'm Mike. Mister is some other guy.
