It\u2019s the happiest parking lot on Earth!<\/p>\n

We are here, of course, for LACon V, this year\u2019s Worldcon, where I will doing panels, a reading, a signing, and of course DJing a dance. I may also win a Hugo, but then, I might not. Either way, I still have Hugos, so it\u2019s fine either way. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s very hot here at the moment. I understand it\u2019s going to get hotter. Fortunately I will be mostly in air-conditioned places. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re at the convention and see me, come say hi. If you\u2019re not at the convention, you will likely not see me. But if somehow you do, you can still say hello. I\u2019ll be easy to spot, I\u2019ll be the short dude next to the stunning Amazon. <\/p>\n
