WorldCon 2011 - Reno, NV

Moonliner · 02-01-2010, 07:59 AM

* sigh *

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?

I'll be there! I'm going to get Reno-vated!

Excellent.

That means you can nominate my novel, short story, screenplay or whatever I end up creating for a Hugo.

Cool. Sure thing!

I'm a bit behind on that novel/novella/manuscript thing.... But I do have flights and room ressies booked.

JW are you still in? Anyone else planning a WorldCon trip?

You're damn straight! Anywhere but Reno is NOT the place to be!

You forgot to mention the side trip to the Moonlite Bunny Ranch! It's just 45 minutes south of Reno in Carson City.

ETA: And bad news on another possible side trip. Apparently the Ponderosa Ranch (where Pa, Adam, Hoss and Little Joe lived on Bonanza) is no longer open.

Really?

And miss the symposium on nanobot ethics? I think not!
