telophase | ConDFW news...

...we finally have guests. XD DOn Maitz and Janny Wurts, and we're working on others as we speak.

For those of you in the DFW area, please feel free to pass on this news: we have wrangled with the hotel and with corporate, and have managed to get them to agree to a smoking ban until 7PM on Friday and Saturday, so you can attend panels and eat in the hotel restaurant in peace. And since the smoke takes a while to build up, you'll be able to stay in the bar decently late Friday and Saturday nights.*

I figure that I'll ~~exploit~~ inquire of my friendslist here to add to our list of contacts: if any of you is or knows of a person in the literary SF/F/H field (writer, artist, editor, etc) who wouldn't mind us having their contact info for potentially asking them to be a guest, please let me know (email telophase14 at gmail dot com if you don't want to post it here). This is for general purposes - we may or may not get in contact with you/them this year. :)**

* For those who are unfamiliar with ConDFW, the hotel we use has the bar in the open lobby area, which has a four-floor atrium.

** Random FYI: figuring out con guests is an art. You want to have a good balance of guests, but you also have to deal with - are they going to bring in enough attendees to cover the monetary outlay? And keep in mind that most cons can only afford to cover airfare/hotel/food fees for the major guests.

Good luck with the con: were I able to attend cons any more, ConDFW would be one of the only cons I'd attend.

Thanks! We're trying to keep it pretty laid-back and make it the sort of con *we* like to attend, and have pretty much succeeded so far.

No complaints from the peanut gallery. I just have an aversion to all conventions, and I just can't get past that block to attend. However, I'm glad to let others know about it.

When is this con? o.o *HUGE JW fan*

Wait....Dragon*Con is coming up. And she'll be there. Can't afford two cons right now.... ah well.

End of February. And it's probably only going to have 300-400 people on-site, so if you want to sit and talk with her, you'll have a better chance here than at D*C. XD

But if you can't make it, I'll get something signed for you. :)

That'd be nice, but the only things I don't have signed by her, I'll be getting signed at D*C. More importantly, I can't really afford to go to a con in February(especially since planning for animazement in May, hopefully). So, I'll have to sadly decline. Though, if she's got anything new out, I'll not object to acquiring that signed. ^_^

(Now to avoid anyone having spats with her, since my attempts to get friends reading her books have backfired because she -can- be quite abrasive at times.)

XD Ah well. If you manage to swing it, I'm willing to split a room - I get my own there because I'm officially Too Damn Old [TM] for crash suites and refuse to do that if at all possible, and keep the number of people sharing it as low as possible (well, down to "none" the last two times, which was sort of nice XD).

Hm. We shall see. It involves a lot more stuff than the usual trips to Animazement and/or D*Con, but perhaps. (since those are just road trips, a few hours in either direction.) This would involve, GASP, air travel and all sorts of other insanity.

BTW, assuming we make Animazement, interested in a potential business venture?

Mmmm. Depends what sort, and what's going on with me. I'm sort of up in the air as far as plans for doing anything beyond the fall go, because TEH SEEKRIT PROJEKT won't be ruled upon until after the end of this month. If it goes one way: I'll have no time whatsoever. If it goes the other way, I'll have a decent amount of free time. :D

Well, mostly I was thinking of pimping Nap Time at Animazement(or possibly D*Con) and seeing what sort of response the picture gets(i.e. will anyone want to buy them from the crazy guy walking around.) for you.

Oh, that can probably be arranged, provided they don't get weirded out by you selling stuff but not having a table in the artist's alley. XD

I wonder how many people will be at animazement(or D*Con) that know the name of POE and want to lambaste me for my mary-sueish ways. XD
