MileHi Writers Convention this Weekend in Denver
Huzzah! MileHi 37 Convention starts next Friday, Oct 21st in Denver, CO. There will be some wonderful science fiction and fantasy writers in attendence for the 3-day convention, as well as some informative panels led by those authors on who, what, and when to write in the sci fi and fantasy worlds; as well as some great panels on other things revolving around science and Sci-Fi / Fantasy. I love this con, being a some time writer myself and enjoying the adventure when I am able to. I also love seeing the great costumes that show up at con. I think a big part of the fun is seeing what sort of imaginations folks have, be it good or bad. And let us not forget the friends I get to see again, with some being from the ren faire and others from Star Fest, Barbarians, Klingons and a few super heros... oh my. The authors get a kick out of it too if last year was an clue, as they finally get to meet some of the fans who wait patiently for months and sometimes years on end for a new book to arrive at their favorite bookstore before spending a few dollars on a new journey with their favorite characters or some new ones someone dreamed up. Also there is the con suites where folks of different fan clubs feed you and encourage your participation in whatever they have going so they can find new members to join them. And last and certainly not least is the pub, where folks and fans and friends can gather to have a few beers and discuss/argue about what they love most...science fiction and fantasy. So in closing, please come out next weekend to the Sheraton Four Points Hotel in Denver and have some fun and adventure and meet some really good people. So you know, SCIFIPUNDIT will be out there too and maybe we can get some interviews if at all possible with some authors or fans. Hope to see you there.

Went to this con for many years. I even spent three years in the dealers room selling spiffy collectable sci fi novels. This year look for Connie Willis (Hugo winning and local colorado author) to be entertaining at her readings and available to autograph hher works and panel discussions. This is the funniest woman in science fiction...(Read Belwether.. a sci fi novella about life in Boulder.. oh my!!).. I am going to miss mile hi con this year, but I will return for next years rendition. I also recommend "Bubonicon" in Albuquerque in Augus every year.

One of these days I hope to get to this con. Enjoy your weekend as I will be up to my neck in Halloween party preparations!
