Good News for Gaylaxicon 2009

[drewan]

I just got a confirmation e-mail back from Andy Mangels that he will be a guest of honor at our Gaylaxicon 2009 convention.

Andy has long been on the top of my personal list of people to invite to local conventions, and I'm very happy to see that he is ready, willing, and able to come to our little midwest Gaylaxicon. His broad experience and history in comics and SF/F media will be a great benefit to our convention.

I also hoping that as a fellow leather man, I hope that he will be an additional draw for the local leather community, and add further diversity.

Andy joins our first confirmed guest of honor, Margaret Weis, of Dragonlance and role-playing games and books fame.

That's awesome! Andy's a great guy - he was willing to let me shill for G'con '04 at Comic-Con the year before. :)

I so love all the Trek novels Mangels has written (along with Martin). You will have to get his autograph for me!

[drewan.livejournal.com]

Well, the convention is local, so you can come and get your own autograph!

Oh, I didn't know that.

Then I will pencil it in!

You don't need any help with programming, do you?

[drewan.livejournal.com]

I will pass on your info to the program head.

Great to hear! I've not had a chance to meet Andy yet, but really look forward to it.

Two more reasons to show up. I'm very excited about this G-con.

I've never been to that hotel -- are there good party rooms available if, say, a local con wanted to throw a shindig?

This is actually a great hotel. Yes, there will be space for parties.
