Convention Plans for 2009

I’ll probably be attending two or three conventions in 2009:

WonderCon (February 27–March 1, 2009; San Francisco, California). Definitely. My wife and I went last year and enjoyed it, and combined it with a trip to visit friends and family in the Bay Area. What with the money crunch we were going to skip it this year, but we were planning to make another trip up to visit people…and discovered that the perfect time to do so would be the week leading up to WonderCon. If we’re going to be in the area anyway, membership is pretty cheap at $12/person for a one-day pass. (See also: 2008 WonderCon report.)

Wizard World Los Angeles (March 13–15, 2009; Los Angeles, California). Maybe. It’s within driving distance, so travel expenses aren’t an issue. That said, it’s only two weeks after WonderCon, so whether I go will be based entirely on the guests & panels. (See also: 2008 WWLA report.)

Comic-Con International (July 23–26, 2009; San Diego, California). Definitely. I’ve been going to what was then called the San Diego Comic-Con since 1990. We pre-registered at the last convention, and I’ve lined up a back-up hotel in case I can’t get a closer one when the convention blocks open up. (See also: convention reports.)

Some other conventions I’ve looked at, but probably won’t be attending: […]

On my way to #BayCon #Westercon in Santa Clara. Hope I haven't forgotten anything.

I am attending Westercon/Baycon this year. I am laminating signage for below my badge. Should I go with light mode or dark mode? Please reply to this post.

Who has been to Westercon? Is it fun? I think I probably will not be going across the country for Readercon this year (which makes me very sad), so I'm trying to find more ways to meet writers in person on the west side of the country (US).
