Apparently NorWesCon is happening this coming weekend. It's "the Northwest's Largest Annual Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention" (according to their website; I thought it was second-largest, but what do I know?). It's the place what they give out the Philip K. Dick Award (I confess, I've not heard of any of this year's nominees). So now I'm trying to decide if I should go.
In the "pro" category, it looks like there's going to be a ton of interesting panels and lectures. It'll also be a good chance to just be at an SF/F con, which is something people (like, say, Jim) keep telling me I should be doing. Plus I'll get a chance to say hi to Claire, one of the nice folks I met when I was at Tor.
In the "con" category, none of my editorial friends (the afore-mentioned Jim, Anna, Teresa) will be there and it's a weekend away from productivity. Also, and I know I've mentioned this before, I fucking hate going out places like this by myself.
This will require careful consideration.

I'd go with you, but all the stuff we talked about in regards to Sakuracon last night apply to this one as well. Stupid abnormal work week.

Who would admit to winning a Dick Award?

Then again, upon further consideration...

Lukas - I hear ya, man. But no worries: some other con, some other time.
Erik - Exactly.
Mike - Then you'll really hate the fact that The Dreaming didn't have those issues of Nightwing you wanted. Sorry.
