Next weekend I will be heading off to MystiCon, in Roanoke, Virginia, where I'll be a Guest of Honor. A new con for me, and a new part of the country (it's been on my schedule since 2013).They have a website at http://mysticon-va.com/ with a list of all the other guests -- but, alas, it says there that they are sold out, so if you're not signed up, you may be out of luck.I am looking forward to spending some time with old friends there, and to making some new ones.Truth be told, I need a good con just about now. I am tired and I am stressed, and I am so so so sick of the toxic rancor that more and more seems to characterize the internet.So... let's raise a few glasses and have a few laughs at MystiCon, and try to remember why we love science fiction, fandom, and each other.
