My great plans for
 WorldCon 2006 in Anaheim never panned out.  I thought it was perfect, High SF Geekdom + Disney.  What could be better? 
Turns out there is an answer to that one.  
WorldCon 2011 is being held in Reno, NV.  At a Casio resort.  Bingo!  High SF Geekdom and Poker!   
I'm joining today and hopefully the rooms will be available soon. 
The only thing left is to get published and nominated for  a Hugo before Aug 2011.   Anyone know a good SF publisher?  If I need it in print by Aug of this year, how long do I have to write it?
