235px-Worldcon_71_LoneStarCon_3_logoWell, it’s that time again.  Time for WWEnd’s 3rd annual trip to WorldCon!  This time it’s being hosted by LoneStarCon 3 down in San Antonio, Texas – our neck of the woods.  We’re making the drive from Dallas this morning and hope to be in Lockhart, Texas, Barbecue Capital Texas, in time for lunch at Black’s.  (We’ll hit Kreuz Market on the return leg.)  From there it’s just another hour to San Antone.

As we did for the last 2 WorldCons we’ve got a fan table to show off the site, make new friends and give out some Hugo Award bookmarks.  If you’re going to the con make sure you stop by and say hello and pick up some bookmarks.  They’re great for getting autographs – especially if you’re an ebook reader.  We love to meet WWEnders in person!  Oh, there will be candy too, or “nerd bait” as they say at the conventions.  How can you resist?

We’ll be posting about our trip here on the blog, on Twitter and on Facebook so keep an eye out for those reports.  And, of course, we’ll be live-tweeting the Hugo Awards from the ballroom so don’t miss that.

One of the great things about this year’s event is that our whole crew is going.  Rico, Chris and even Jonathan for his first convention.  In addition we’ve got WWEnder Charles Dee coming down with us.  We met Dee through the site a few years ago and lucky for us he was a local.  He’s been a huge WWEnd supporter and a great friend and we’re looking forward to hanging out with him this week.  He’s no stranger to conventions, he was in the book industry for years, but this is his first science fiction convention.  We’re going to push him and Jonathan into a Filk session and close the door so they get the entire experience.

Since we’re all going to be out of pocket there won’t be a lot of non-con posting on the blog until we get back.  So no Jo Fletcher Friday this week or new books added or site updates etc.  We’ll catch up next week on all that stuff.  Cheers!
