Meet Me in St. Louie, Louie
Ooh. Ooh. We gotta. Go. Now.
Or in an alarmingly short period of time.
Yes, I’ll soon be on public display at Archon 31, aka NASFiC, aka TuckerCon. It runs from August 2-5 at the Collinsville, IL Gateway Center. Big fun. If you can stand the heat. And the humidity.
I don’t have much choice - although I’d definitely choose to go, because I wasn’t being sarcastic about the big fun thing - nor, sadly, the heat or humidity things - since I’m Masquerade Emcee. The Archon Masquerade is basically the coolest thing in fandom, and this year will likely be the biggest and best ever.
My tentative schedule is available - click on the link, then search for Vic Milán. I was as perplexed by “Vic-tory on Stage” as you are, until my query email was promptly answered that it’s an MC’s view of what makes a winning Masquerade entry. Sounds fun; I’ll have to try to catch it. Especially since I suggested it in the first place.
Otherwise the double-booked signing on Thursday is a likely scratch, especially inasmuch as I’m scheduled for one Friday. Also I’ll be doing a library gig somewhere Wednesday evening with GoH Barbara Hambly. I’ll post more info when I get ’round to digging it out. (Hey. I don’t have to know where it is. It’s not like I’m driving.)
Anyway, Archon is a great con - I’ve been going for, whoa, over a quarter-century now, and always have a blast. Good people and good times.
Hope to see you there.
It’ll be an Adventure.
