Cold Wars was this past weekend (where ECCers Jerry, Damo, John L,
Stuart
and myself all ran into each other at one point or another; this was my
first visit to Cold Wars, and yep, it's markedly different in scope than
ECC ;-)
Historicon is slated to be July 21-24
Fall In is scheduled for November 12-14
Not sure if I'll be around for Historicon. May be around for Fall In.
