Fen Con V

Just got back from Fen Con V. Had a great time. It’s a very well run convention. This is the third one I’ve been too. Saw a lot of people there that were at Denvention (WorldCon).

And they would say “Oh, well that explains everything.” I get the...

Armadillocon

For some unknown reason, I kept thinking that Armadillocon was in Amarillo, TX. I don’t know how many times I went to their website and Austin, TX simply did not register. Anyway, Melissa and I drove down to Austin. We stopped in McKinney overnight, so we didn’t have to drive it all in one day. Along the way we saw the signs for Bio Willie. Willie Nelson’s biodiesel truck stop. I wish...
