It’s Official, I’ll Be There Unofficially

https://www.nhgazette.com/2025/02/01/g92463bwc72 head.jpgI just signed up for the Penguicon 6 convention in April. It will be my first science fiction con. It will also be my first Linux con. It will basically be my first con. I’m rather excited, and hope it will be fun. At the very least, I guess every room at the Hilton has WiFi, so I’ll be able to surf the internets if nothing else.

Oh, I’m not going as the official Linux Journal “Gadget Guy” — but I will probably be wearing a Linux Journal hat or something. I kinda like those guys. 😉

If you’ll be there, look me up. You know what I look like. My blog is chock full of narcissistic photos of myself… If you’re not there, feel free to look me up, but I’ll be at the Penguicon, so you’ll have a much harder time finding me.

  1. Cheapest Zolpidem Online I have never been to a con. Ok, that’s not true, I wandered through a very poorly attended one in Anchorage one year with my professional polo shirt on (ISP manager).

    https://www.suitupmaine.org/jz8xoqx2 I’ve never been to a con for fun. I’ve heard lots of folks have a total blast at them, and some of Bryan’s colleagues are heavily involved in organizing Norwescon (Seattle, late March).

    I find the whole thing intimidating, hanging out at a convention center with a few thousand eccentric folks, none of whom I know. I adore weird friends – but find weird strangers to be a challenge.

  2. Janiece: Oh yeah, well SCALVI will be at the Penguicon… Which gives me the trifecta required to go to such a public event…

    We’ll see how it goes in April, I might hate cons, you never know. 🙂

  3. https://www.nhgazette.com/2025/02/01/tuv409l6sqc Yeah, I’m stuck going to a wedding in Hawaii in May, which will probably be more than my travel quota for the year – both financially and sanity-wise.

    https://juristas-ruidos.org/stxgb30rp7t I’ve never been to a con either. If I ever did, it would probably be one of the roleplaying ones (Dragoncon in Atlanta, Gencon in Indianapolis/Chicago). I used to think about going to a Star Trek con but that was before I had money.

  4. Damn, Scalzi and Vernor Vinge? and Randall Munroe. That’s going to be a blast. Wish to hell I could be there, but alas, it’s not to be. Have fun, take a lot of pictures. Shake Vernor Vinge’s hand for me, and lick Scalzi bald head.

  5. https://baixacultura.org/2025/02/01/ynfy6x4p I’m currently planning on gong to Denvention. I plan on getting my act together for registration and hotel stuff next week. I like meeting new people with similar interests, and well run panels are a blast. I’ve never been to a con, but I used to work at a comic shop. I figure scale up one of our events by about 100,000 and it’ll be close. heh.

  6. I’m considering applying to go to Viable Paradise – which will more that shoot my discretionary travel budget for the year. If I decide not to, I’ll consider Denvention. We have a couple of vendors there, maybe I could expense it. 😉

  7. https://regenamex.com/2b1ag6lv5 I’ve been to several mostly small, local cons. Cons can be a either (and sometimes both) a real blast or a real pain. They tend to be better when you know people at the con. My travel/con budget is already earmarked for this year (CONvergence anybody?). I will be looking forward to reading Shawn’s writeup about Penguicon, as it sounds uber cool. Now if you’ll pardon me I’ve got to get back to blowing my brains out into a tissue as I fight a sinus cold. *blech*
