Oh yeah, right, forgot about this.

I'm crossing the Pacific on the 26th of October. I'll spend a couple of days in San Francisco, head down to Monterey to go to the aquarium, and then on to San José for World Fantasy. Which is already looking to be insane and will probably burn out my people tolerance for another year, but what the hell. That's what you expect of hermit crabs, right?

Thursday night is the Last Drink Bird Head / Finch / Booklife party, which will also feature the first Last Drink Bird Head Annual Awards. Preorders for everything available, and everything worth preordering.



Friday night is a fancy schmancy dinner.

Saturday night is the Gigawatt's birthday party, featuring zombies and cupcakes (science-fictiony mortician's dress? check), followed by the Weird Tales party.

Sunday night I crawl around gibbering and looking for somewhere quiet to sleep.

Followed by a couple more days in San Francisco, and then another long flight back across the Pacific, to the future.

There's lots of people I know that I'll be meeting for the first time, lots of people I know I'll be meeting for the second time, and lots of people I don't know I may or may not be meeting at all. Should be interesting, at any rate.

(There is not at all enough time to prepare for this argh.)

    I am so, so excited to meet you. I am drafting an LJ post about my excitement about WFC and meeting my rockstar online friends right now.

    Three weeks!

    Sorry I won't be there to be one of those people in one of those categories. But: Yay aquarium! The Monterey Bay Aquarium is the yardstick against which I measure all other aquaria. As well as a lot of other things it's probably not a good yardstick for.

    You know, I keep forgetting that I -haven't- met you, Marian, heh. Seems like actually being in the same place, same time with you is simply a formality.

    David, dude, you're going to Africa. AFRICA. And I've been to the Osaka Aquarium. Monterey has some stiff competition.

    Aww, I know exactly what you mean! I feel like I've known you forever and ever.

    We're doing our SF exploration after WF instead of before it, but if you're semi-mobile and inclined the old Bath Works is a pretty cool spot. And big, big congrats on the top sekrit beans VanderMeer just spilled all over his blog! So cool...
