Anyway, I will be back blogging next weekend. I may even give you some info from the conference! Can't go wrong with workshop titles like "Lloyd Alexander: High King of Fantasy," "Mary Sue and Gary Stu: Avoiding the Dreadful Downfalls of Bad Fiction" (a panel), "Cryptography 101," "Military in Fantasy," "Space Eldritch," "How to Kill a Zombie," (I thought they were already dead!) and my personal favorite, "Everything I Need to Know about Writing I Learned from the Matrix." That's merely a sampler from the first day.
Best of all, the keynote speaker and and sometimes panel member is Megan Whalen Turner, quite possibly the best writer in MG/YA fantasy today. Yep, be envious. Be very, very envious. And read some good fantasy this week!

Oh, that's SO awesome that Megan Whaler Turner will be there. Please find out when her next book will come out and let us all know. Have a fantastic time! It sounds awesoem.
That sounds like a wonderful time. Enjoy it! I love geeking out like that at Dragon*Con. You know I met Lloyd Alexander once. It was magical. I'll try to post about it soon (if I haven't already). Can't wait to hear about your adventures.
If you hear crying from Arizona, just know it's me weeping that I don't get to attend and meet MWT :( I am so jealous!!!
Oh, oh, oh, what city is this conference in, so I can drop my life and go squee over Megan Whalen Turner? (And find out about Eldritch in Space!)
Very envious!
I'm very envious!
Hey guys! Had a marvelous time. Sci-fi/fantasy people are so bright and funny, and MWT is a superb speaker--even when she's coming down with a cold and feeling lousy.
