WorldCon 2007 Kicks off in just over 2 months time in Yokohama, Japan.

I'm already a paid up attending member who has the good fortune to be voting for this year's Hugo awards. I've also booked in for a few additional events like the Dinner Cruise with the Hugo award winners and am greatly looking forward to this trip.

Is anyone else attending this event?

I plan to log on each day of the Con and write the major events/happenings, kind of like a daily diary if that sounds at all exciting....:p

Cheers...
 
Yep, I'll be there! Lucky enough to have a book out in Japanese to tie in with the Con (redRobe renamed for Japan, Samsara Junction!) No idea what the text says but the cover looks cool... I'll be reading your blog to find out what's happening. Most of the time at cons I haven't a clue<g>
 
Congrats on the Japanese translation of redRobe, Jon. Now, when you tell me you can read it in the Japanese, then I'll really be impressed! :)

Look forward to the updates, Gollum. I shall read them with envy.
 
I am extremely jealous! I wish I could afford to attend.

Thank you for planning to post con news. I'll read avidly.
 
No problems, I shall endeavour to post daily. In the meantime it's back to reading those Hugo nominees....

@JonCG Maybe we can meet up, PM if you like...

Not anymore Jon....:)

Today I received my ballot paper for voting for the site for the 2009 WorldCon. In addition everything is now booked for Worldcon and KL where I'll be meeting up with the cat for a guided tour....:D

Only 50 days before I depart, but who's counting.....:p

Meanwhile I've finally finished Charlie Stross's Glasshuose, now it's onto some of the novellete nominees.....
 
Just received all my documentation for the trip to Yokohma and KL.

Now all that remains is to finish off the Hugo nominees and start packing...:)
 
Yes I will be going,staying in the pacific hotel, and doing the pre con tour really looking forward to it.:)
 
The pacific is pretty close to the venue if memory serves. I'm staying at the Washington, which is approx 10 minute walk from the convention center. We should get together at some stage during the convention. I'll PM you closer to the date if that's OK?

Have you been reading the Hugo nominees?? I've finished reading all short stories, novelettes and am now completing the novella section. I've already read 2 of the nominated novels. I've got to the end of this month to read the final 3 novels and cast my votes.

As far as touring goes I'm arriving 5 days before the convention begins, and like you taking in the sights...:)
 
Hi Gollum,Iwill look forward to that, by all means PM me and I will give you some details,missed the worldcon in Melborne but I was toying with the idea of going.

For those folks who are following my affair with the Hugos I'll be casting my ballot this weekend. There's something like 13 categories to vote for which can become a little bewildering..:eek:

I've also booked some day trips in Japan to Osaka, Hiroshima, Narrah and Mt Fuji which I'm really looking forward to....:D
 
Well you never know, maybe I can fit you into my suitcase....:)

Today is my last day of reading Hugo nominess before I need to submit my ballot paper so I'm crazily consuming as much as I can before the deadline tommrow. EEK!!
