I am stunned, quite honestly, that it’s the middle of August and time for Gen Con already. Where in the world did the summer go?!? Well, there’s no time to ponder that just now. I’ve still got a bunch of details to sort out before I head out to Indianapolis … but I DO know [...]
Yes, it’s that magical time of year again where I post my Gen Con schedule for the 3.5 people who care. (One person THINKS they’re gonna care, gets halfway through the list, and suddenly realizes that he doesn’t care AT ALL.) I’ve got a good mix of seminars, events, and open time to schmooze … [...]
Okay. It seems like just after getting back INTO the habit of making semi-regular updates … I fell back out again. Oh well. If at first you don’t succeed … So, here we are … late July. Usually this is the time when I tell you all about my experiences at Comic Con. However, for [...]

I’ve just finalized plans for my trip to the upcoming NeonCon 2010. I’m going to be a guest at the show, making presentations, leading seminars and workshops in their CreativeU program, and maybe even running a game session or two. NeonCon runs from Nov. 4–7 at the Tropicana hotel and casino in Las Vegas, and [...]

My bags are packed and I’m ready to go. In a relatively small number of hours, I’ll be in Indianapolis and diving headlong into Gen Con. If you look back at the last few posts, you’ll see what I’m planning to do and where I’ll be easiest to find at the show. I won’t be [...]
At the end of last weekend, I took a couple of photos of the loot I brought home from Comic Con. I was on a pretty tight budget, and in the end I was pleased with all the things I resisted buying. But, looking at my haul, I found it hard to reconcile that relatively [...]
I’m getting ready to go to Seattle for Paizo Con this coming weekend … and at this point I really NEED the break it’s going to give me! In order to be able to spend a week or so traveling, visiting friends, and attending the show, I’ve had a fortnight of “crunch time” making sure [...]
In a few hours I’ll be heading out to the GAMA Trade Show. I’ve left a lot of things about this trip to the last minute, though, so I should be running around getting lots of little tasks accomplished until it’s time to leave. Joy. I KNOW this is on my mind because this morning [...]

This morning, having made my project turn over, I decided to take an hour or so out to drive over to Escondido and visit the local Buddhist monastery. Yes, that’s right, here in sleepy, suburban North San Diego County, we have a Buddhist monastery. I’d heard about it a year or so ago, but hadn’t [...]
When I got up this morning, I found a note had been slipped under my door. It was from the manager of the Palace Station Hotel & Casino asking me if I’m SURE that I really WANT to head home today. It went on to offer me the option to stay for ANOTHER night in [...]
