That is some list, too!
I have enjoyed reading several of them... Also very appreciative of the Doctor... Too bad my TARDIS is in the shop.
Can't seem to get it into relative time mode.

Tempted enough to check travel options..
but the SW fares seem to have evaporated... but perhaps another time. I will be driving through Denver around Aug 23 or 24, taking my son back to school. A tea break might be in order about that time!

Here is the official web site for it. it starts on Wednesday and goes through Sunday.
Here is a list of guest that will be there.
One of the guest I am really looking forwards to meeting is Paul Cornell, a writer for the new Doctor Who.
The guest of honor, Lois McMaster Bujold, is also one of my favorite writer, but she was out here a few years ago for a different convention, so I got to meet her before. I still have a few of her newer books to get autographed though.
If you are able to get out here, let me know and we'll have to meet up at the convention and see if we can't get along face to face.

So where is this all going on?
We have Norwescon here every Easter weekend. It has become a lot of fun to go to since I started seeing it as mainly a writer's con, and had some writing to take to it. (THE HERETICS, actually... now appearing in a blog near you!)
I've never been to a Worldcon, though.
