That's only about 6 hours from here, barely a hop and a skip in terms of Canadian geography. I'll check out the link you provided, see if any of my heroes will be there...

I didn't really get involved with SF fandom until the late 60's with Tolkien. This was after grad school. Cons & travelling is why I retired. :-) -- World Fantasy Con is in Calgary next October; http://www.worldfantasy2008.org/ . -- Good luck with the film of your book. -- Hmm, I've got this script about a Valkyrie who is truned loose after a 1000 years. She is not happy. However, love solves the problem. -- Maybe the money from the film will allow you to get to a few cons. -- Oh yes, Worldcon is in Montreal in 2009. -- I plan to drive the ALCAN Highway in June of '09. Will I be passing anywhere nearby? Cliff: — Nice to hear from you again. — Yes, I’m an Olde Pharte. I didn’t really get involved with SF fandom until the late 60’s with Tolkien.

That's very impressive. And it sounds like you've had a full dance card of late. Love to have the chance to hang out at one of these functions, raise a glass or two with some of my writing colleagues, argue the merits of the latest Iain Banks offering, chat with readers, bibliophiles from all over the map (geographically and mentally). I envy you your opportunities... Your first con was back in 1973? That’s very impressive. And it sounds like you’ve had a full dance card of late.
