Straight Trippin'

Once again I'm off on a trip. This one is kind of long, actually, but should be super fun. I'm headed out in like an hour straight (well, through Denver) to North Carolina for Heroes Con.

I'll be there through the weekend, then on Monday I'll fly out to Chicago. I'd been thinking about going to Wizard World Chicago, which is the weekend after Heroes, but I wasn't sure I should. Now, I I totally am.

Why? Well, a whole confluence of events came together and convinced me.

First off, my friend Chris Burnham is going, which means I had someone to split a hotel room with.

Then, I got a call from Adi Granov who is a guest of the show and he wanted to know if he'd see me there.

After that, while at Super Con, I arranged a meeting in Chicago that could lead to some cool guest action for Emerald City.

Lastly, I've gotten a couple of freelance editing gigs with a company, based in Chicago, who would like me to come in-office for a chat about the books.

All that, plus I have friends who live in Chicago, convinced me that I should go. And not just go, but instead of flying back to Seattle then back to Chicago, I should just fly out, hang out with my friends, then do the show and kill like a dozen birds with one stone. Plus, save me one flight too!

In addition, I also bought tickets to see the Cubs (vs. Baltimore, thanks inter-league play) at Wrigley on Wednesday, so that ought to be damn cool.

10 days - it's gonna be a hell of a busy trip, but it should be a blast!

Don't break the interwebs while I'm gone and I'll post after I get back.
