Balticon?

Who knew that there was such a thing? Don't answer, because I'm sure lots of people did, I've just been missing out. After doing some blog hopping and clicking on various links, I learned that Naomi Novik (author of the Temeraire books) will be at Balticon in May, as will Maria V. Snyder, author of Poison Study. Hmmm, I've never attended a SF/F conference. Maybe it's time to expand my horizons?

I knew there were trekkie conventions but I haven't been to one. I did go to the last episode of Star Wars with all the stoner freaks in costumes. Bob surprised me with the midnight showing and I didn't have the heart to tell him it was going to be scary. I mean, people camp out for that kind of stuff. We get there and of course there are Leias and Chewies and Imperial Storm troopers everywhere. I felt really bad for Bob cause I realized that these were probably my peeps only I don't do dress up or pot. The unemployed bit though? Down solid ;)

I've never gone to a midnight showing of anything except The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Which, of course, brings out an interesting crowd ;)

I did go to see Star Trek: First Contact on its debut weekend while in college. We walked out of the theater behind a gaggle of people arguing about how the writers of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine were going to integrate the events of the movie into their storyline, since at least one common character was involved.

I've never attended a SF/F conference, either. I didn't even know they had that kind of thing in the Balitmore area. It seems like it would be fun, but I do hate driving in Balitmore, lol. Definitely let us know how it was if you go. :-)
