    Want to meet Hugh? 70th World Science Fiction Conference in Chicago: Late August

    Hugh will be there and participating in some fashion to be determined. Knowing Hugh, he also will schedule a meet-up, so if you're going to be in the area, make your plans now!

    August 30-September 3 at the Hyatt Regency

    Hugh's scarce this week, but I've let him know. Thanks!

    This might be something I could actually attend. I wouldn't even know where to start though. Will Hugh be there each day? I'm also interested in a meet up. How cool would that be?

    We're moving forward on getting a meet-up scheduled, and knowing Hugh, he will be there every day!

    I looked into what is involved for the conference, and I'm not sure I could attend that long. Let me know when the place/ day/ time has been decided for a meet-up! I live fairly close to Chicago and Milwaukee.

    My reservations are made! Coming in on Thursday, doing WorldCon Friday and Saturday, and heading home Saturday night.

    I love Amtrak.

    Chicago meet-up planned for Thursday, August 30, beginning at 7 p.m. We're looking at 2 different locations (both pretty near the conference hotel).

    Anyone wanting to come to the conference for just a day--you don't have to register for the whole thing (DH and I will be paying the day rates for Friday and Saturday).

    There's an event link here: http://www.facebook.com/events/497384126938308/
