sigh, never been (but i’ve never been to any sf con, so it isn’t surprising). i did attend uw madison (class of ‘60 — after being a drop-out for a few years — and met my wife there (1957). she is an adamant non-sf person, so we don’t really do much socially with sf types. dance, music and food instead.

enjoy madison, though the last time we passed through we hardly recognized anything. i wonder if piasian’s pizza is still in business?

ps am i allowed a language comment? i’ll give it anyway. shouldn’t you be “fazed” rather than “phased”? or is your vibrational plane not shifting?

Kristine: That’s crazy talk! The reason I’m going this year is cause WisCon 20 was so amazing. Though I’ll admit I’m a bit nervous about it being so much bigger this year . . .

Jason, Cherie & Cheryl: See you there!

Cheryl: I wouldn’t worry. It’s not going to be so insane next year. From memory the WisCons after 20 were all smaller than WisCon 20. I’m imagine the same thing will happen this year. On the other hand the rumoured guests of honour for next year are pretty bloody cool . . .

I try very hard not to miss it. And from now on I’ll probably have to go every year because of the danger that the next year may sell out before the current year’s con is over.

Yes, it is that good. See y’all.

1996 was your first Wiscon? It was mine, too. I’ve attended every year since except…

I will be missing this year’s con, but will likely attend 31. I feel funny about missing after having attended so many in a row, but 20 was so special and while I know 30 will be special as well, I don’t feel completely lost because, well, I remember 20.

And if that makes sense, I’m doing better than I thought for a writing Friday night.
