Hugo Awards – LAcon V

Aloin ladata Hugo-äänestyspakettia. Yhtenä megazippinä olisi 16,5 gigatavua. Juuei.

Kestää näissä per kategoria -zipeissäkin aikaa. "Paras sarja" on 2,3 gigatavua, "paras romaani" on 1.2 Gt.

Mulla on yllättävän moni romaani ja pienoisromaani löytynyt kirjastosta, joten ihan kaikkia ei tarvi lukea e-kirjana. Ilahduin myös, että moni ehdokas oli jo tuttu eli olin lukenut joko ehdokasteoksen tai jotain muuta kirjailijalta.

Bonusfolge 64 - Von der Metropol Con Berlin 2026 zur Worldcon Nürnberg 2028

In genau 2 Monaten ist die "Metropol Con" in Berlin: eine bunte Phantastik-Mischung auch Kongress und Festival. Ob man überhaupt noch eine Phantastik-Convention braucht, habe ich diesmal mit dem Orga-Vorstand Dr. Claudia Rapp besprochen. Außerdem haben wir ein wenig in die Zukunft geschaut, denn in zwei Jahren könnte sogar die Worldcon nach Deutschland kommen.

Over 50 books (plus some eARCs) in the #HugoAwards voter packet this year! 😮

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: […]
