I look forward to the Archon convention in St. Louis every year, and this year is especially exciting: they have a new location. I checked it out a couple of weeks ago, and it looks fabulous. They are still spread out a bit with activities in two separate hotels and the attached convention center, but it’s very walkable (even for a gimp like me). There are also a number of restaurants on site and plenty of parking.
I’ll have art in the show, both on display and in the print shop. Remember: bid high, bid often!
The pocket program is online, and a big thank you to my book club buddy Barry for pointing out that I will be doing four sessions, not just the three I knew about.

September 28, 2010 at 5:00amThis would be a really good weekend to get out of town.
Unfortunately, I always forget about Archon and by the time I remember, the place is sold out.

September 28, 2010 at 1:43pmI would love to get back there sometime, but the first weekend of October has so many things happening year after year.
