Heh! Thanks for the compliment. Judging all of California by LA is almost like judging all off the US by LA. P. J.

Re: World Science Fiction Convention
Well, I'd agree with you about most of CA, but I love San Diego, the Monterey Bay/Carmel/Big Sur area, And Yosemite (When it is open). San Francisco can be OK in moderate dosages.

Re: World Science Fiction Convention
"SuperCon" is happening in Raleigh this weekend. Don't think I'll be at either one. I'd like to someday, but I'm tied up trying to get the kitchen done. Floor is completely tiled. Next step is sealing it, and then I can start installing the new cabinets. I hope to have a functioning kitchen sink by this time next week. Already have the sink, just need to get the cabinets & counter-tops installed. On 7/27/2018 02:03, Larry Colen wrote: Worldcon 76 is going to be happening in a few weeks in San Jose.

Re: World Science Fiction Convention
Not gonna be there, but according to Book Twitter, they had to scrap the programming and start over a few days ago, so it may be a bit of a mess.

Never heard of it, but it sounds like fun. We expect photos, or it didn't happen.
