I really enjoyed the Campbell Conference last year, for the chance to spend a week with the same dozen or so people, rather than five minutes each with several hundred.Lou Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362734492222851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303103.post-69181158459425571552007-09-07T10:27:00.000-05:002007-09-07T10:27:00.000-05:00Then you'll like ApolloCon, if next year is like t...Then you'll like ApolloCon, if next year is like this year. It's not huge, so there's a very personal feel, cozy-like. And there was plenty of literary programming.

I returned 5 years later to media cons, sent by the magazines I worked for, and found them impersonal. So when I hit literary cons in 2000, I was blown away by the access to creatives. I could live there year round now, and don't have much patience for people who bitch about them.Lou Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362734492222851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303103.post-60732953301866680992007-09-07T09:09:00.000-05:002007-09-07T09:09:00.000-05:00Yeah, I was never much into the con scene when I w...Yeah, I was never much into the con scene when I was younger. My energies were spent down other avenues. When the local ApolloCon rolled around a couple of months ago, I figured it was time to finally give it a go. And I had good reason: guests including Chris Roberson and David G. Hartwell (Editor GoH). Hartwell fascinated me with many great "insider" stories. I'll be expecting more of the same next year! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303103.post-20277703433561573222007-09-07T07:38:00.000-05:002007-09-07T07:38:00.000-05:00John, your first con?!?Paul - many thanks.John, your first con?!?<BR/>Paul - many thanks.Lou Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362734492222851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303103.post-29301837970421594932007-09-07T01:39:00.000-05:002007-09-07T01:39:00.000-05:00Congratulations, GOH!Congratulations, GOH!Paul Cornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366796946594435087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303103.post-88485179387910585172007-09-06T23:43:00.000-05:002007-09-06T23:43:00.000-05:00Well...I'm not infamous as much as I am the subjec...Well...I'm not infamous as much as I am the subject of several restraining orders.
