I'm going, especially since Boskone is out for me this year (gosh darn kid got born in mid- february 9 years ago and HAS to have her birthday right around Readercon!!!).

You should convince that delightful Canadian giant squid to come down with you if he isn't already. I, and no doubt others, owe that dude some beer. I'd even buy you one! OF course, the loonie is doing stellar against our dollar so... Can I have five bucks to buy you that beer? :)
