jakebeIn case you didn't know already, I'll be at Rainfurrest 2013! I'm really looking forward to this convention for obvious reasons -- Ryan's novel will be premiering on Friday, and we'll be celebrating our fifth anniversary that very same day. We get to kick it for a few days up in Seattle, a city that I really love, and hang out with a lot of friends local and otherwise that we don't get to see too terribly often. I plan on spending quite a bit of time at the writing track since the convention was kind enough to make it so robust; it'll be a good opportunity to learn about other writers in the fandom and get a good feel for what people are up to.
As such, you'll probably find me in Elliott Room B much of the time, where most (if not all) of the writing track panels will be held. I'll also be noodling around the dealer's den and/or artist's alley, getting sketches of Ryan and myself or my FBA character, Dan Quvianuq. In the evenings, chances are I'll be at a restaurant not too far from the hotel, or in the lobby getting drinks with a few friends, relaxing and being generally social. If you see a black guy with a t-shirt over a pot belly and a pork-pie hat, don't be afraid to say hello! ;)
I'll be trying my best to cool it with the over-eating at the convention, but I have a feeling my resolve won't be very good. It's a vacation, after all! I'll at least try to save my indulgences for special occasions, at least. Dessert and drinks with friends, water and gum otherwise. Sunday will be a particular challenge for me, what with football all day AND the series finale of Breaking Bad that night. We'll have to wait until we're home to watch that more than likely, which means I'll be on a Twitter blackout for most of Monday.
I'm really looking forward to the convention. I'll see you there, if you're going! If you're not, then have a great weekend anyway. ;)
