Things are looking very good for me going to Confluence in Pittsburgh July 15-17. Unfortunately, their web domain has lapsed, so here (by way of Locus Online) is the pertinent information:

Randy Hoffman also can answer questions. The big reason why you might want to see me there? The resurrection of The Tom & Pete Show, with me and Pete Grubbs.

I've also been invited back to OryCon in Portland come November. I had a grand time when I was there in 1994, and my returning has been long overdue. And there are a few others which might sneak into the schedule. I'll let you know.

So... any cons near you I should know about?

Update: ConFluence's web site is back up.

I'm sure you're well aware of all the cons I attend or am likely to attend. But I will make my obligatory plug: We'd love to have you come to Chambanacon. And I bet you'd have fun. But I have to be honest and admit that Chambanacon is so small now that it wouldn't be a moneymaker for you.

If I go to 'Bana, it'll be for fun. That's the only reason to go to 'Bana. I used to go every year, but in 1996 we used that weekend to start recording Plugged, and just haven't been back since. I'm not ruling it out this year -- but weather and scheduling are considerations.
