Wish I could make it, but I won't be in Houston until the end of April.  *sigh*

I wish he'd come to Dallas, Tx as well. I can't get down to Houston and I've never met him...in person.

I second Sameth's wish.  Fort Worth would be even better.  :)

Fort Work is good with me. I live in Arlington, which is between Dallas and Fort Worth.

Ok y'all get the cool Cons. and we get Mr. Butcher. I think that's a fair trade off.

Yes, but my Dresden Files books remain unsigned and I don't get to meet him (in real life). How is that fair?

According to this site, Mr. Butcher will be at ConDFW in February.  However, that is a long time to wait.

I'm also spoiled, being from Atlanta.  Can ConDFW possible be as big or as awesome as Dragon*Con?

Never said it was fair for you.

Dallas's biggest con is Project A-Kon, with 15-20k people. So....no.

However, ConDFW is an awesome private little con with fantastic writers...because it's run by people from A-Kon & Aggiecon, so they have connections out the whazoo.  Bob Aprin & John Steakley are regulars, as are Pat Elrod, and recently, Steven Brust. I've been pushing for Jim for years, I'm glad they finally got the schedules lined up. (Jim's booked til 2057)
