Another year and another con under my belt...damn am I tired

Ok..So I survived another convention even if it was slightly less hectic than others I attend over the course of a year. This year there were wonderful panel discussion groups for almost anyone interested in writing about science fiction or fantasy. Also this year the Hugo award winning author Alan Dean Foster was in attendance, letting us all hear about his newest book, who turned out to be a likeable man who took time to speak to folks that asked him questions. I enjoyed the ghost stories of hotels throughout the west and southwest. The costume contest was fun as well, folks with great imaginations and I dare say, a wonderful talent for sewing and construction showed us all that they had to offer Saturday evening, with the Toy Story green army men took best in show this year and believe me it was well earned, but the costumes didn’t end at the masquerade ball. I saw a great deal appear in the bar later with fantasy and science fiction themes drinking in harmony and believe me there is no better crowd to drink with than a bunch of Klingons. I also found it a thrill while others did not, that kids of all ages were attending the con this year with their parents. I easily see the next generation of readers and writers of Sci-Fi and Fantasy in most of them. I believe that a lot of what we read about now will not be so far into the future so you have to wonder what this young, budding, authors will write about in twenty years or so? In conclusion I hope more and more folks attend this enlightening convention where fans and authors gather together with a common interest and next year the place to be will be the Hyatt near the tech center in Denver so make plans early to come and learn something new or even remember something old and we here at SCIFIPUNDIT look forward to meeting you at our con suite we hope to have next year.
