i was thinking about doing WorldCon that weekend, but this is a much tastier proposition! Meantime--Balticon is coming over Memorial Day weekend. For the folks within driving distance of Baltimore, MD, please consider coming! i am working hard to proselytize for 3D and digital art there, will be on several art panels--not that it's so great to see me, but we are having a bunch of programming about digital art--and i'm working on the programming folks in regards an official Digital Artists Party one night. Balticon is smaller and more intimate than DragonCon--only about 1000 attendees--and as such has its own charms. It's got one of the better east coast art shows, certainly. DragonCon, the year i went (pre-Renderosity), had a less inspiring art show that Balticon. Hmm, if i go to Dragon*Con, i might have to do some ASFA volunteering... hmm. Anyhow--perhaps i'll see you there AND at Balticon! --Nan
