Oh, shiny!
The World Science Fiction Convention is being held in Melbourne (again!) with the secondary name of AussieCon 4 in early September.
Apart from the announced Guests of Honour, author Kim Stanley Robinson, artist Shaun Tan and mega convention veteran, Robin Johnson, there are a number of other luminaries I'm looking forward to seeing.
Oh, yes, I'm saving my pennies!
Lessee, also attending are Australian authors, Trudi Canavan, Glenda Larke, Garth Nix, Kim Wilkins, Jonathan Strahan and others in our industry, but we've got more overseas ones as well.
On the list are: authors Carrie Vaughn, Robert Silverberg, George R. R. Martin Baen Editor, Toni Weisskopf, Editor, Ellen Datlow and that's not all of 'em; maybe there'll be others by the time September comes around.

We lost a great science fiction and fantasy artist in Frank Frazetta earlier this week. His body of work was remarkable and I send his family my condolences.

The World Science Fiction Convention in Australia -- how cool is that? I suffered the anguish of watching the convention happen right here in Denver two years ago, without being able to go. Maddening. Have fun in Melbourne!
I'm so looking forward to this. It's been eleven years since the last WSFC in Australia. And Melbourne's only a thousand kilometres away... ;)
