Just as SFScope is finishing up the move to a new server and a new back office, we’re going into our WorldCon lull.

As you read this, we’re on the way to Chicago for WorldCon, and won’t be back until the middle of next week, so posts here will be intermittent if at all.

If you’re looking to meet up at WorldCon, my schedule is:

Thursday 30 August, 1:30-3pm: “Why Editors Are Your Friends” in Crystal C, with Barbara Galler-Smith, Jim Frenkel, John Helfers, and Lynda Williams

Friday 31 August, 4:30-6pm: Kaffeeklatsch.

Saturday 1 September, 12-1:30pm: “Heinlein’s Heroes” in San Francisco, with Bradford Lyau, Deb Houdek Rule, Jo Walton, and Toni Bogolub

Saturday 1 September, 7:30-9pm: “Do We Need Paper Books?” in Columbus CD, with Amanda Luedeke, John Teehan, Joy Crelin, and Steve Saffel.

I’m also planning to go to the opening night reception at the Adler Planetarium. And Sunday evening I’m booked: I get to be Daniel M. Kimmel’s “plus one” for the Hugo Awards events and ceremony!

So, I hope to see many of you in Chicago. The rest of you, I’ll “see” in September.
