Big Announcement for Weyrfest @ D*C! - A Meeting of Minds

Cavatica · Feb 26 2008, 11:18 AM

I've been holding this in for a few weeks now, but they've finally put it up on the site, so I can share with you all:

Anne McCaffrey is coming to Dragon*Con 2008!

Make your plans accordingly.

That's wonderful! I hope everybody has a fantastic time! Just thought of this. I wonder if she'll make a "sweep" of all the US conventions, and go to WorldCon as well?! I'm crossing my fingers that she doesn't get too worn out to go to Albacon, as I'm really counting on seeing her there!

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Priscilla · Feb 26 2008, 09:45 PM

I thought of you, maw. I hope you have a wonderful time meeting her!

Aristokat · Feb 26 2008, 09:48 PM

Awesome.

Lady Maelin · Feb 26 2008, 11:02 PM

Looks like it might be a big year for her after all. Like Cilla said...I sure hope she takes it easy and doesn't wear herself out.

Maw, I do hope you get to meet Anne after all...as she is quite wonderful and personalbe to her fans.

I hope that everyone that is going to the conventions this year, have a great time!!

mawra · Feb 26 2008, 11:14 PM

I wish you were coming Master Maelin.

Lady Maelin · Feb 27 2008, 03:09 PM

Thanks Maw...but Dragocon is just way to big for me. I do hope that you have a marvelous time.

Cavatica · Jun 8 2008, 12:13 AM

Annie Scarborough just dropped me a line to let me know she won't be able to make it to the Con this year, largely due to health reasons. I know we'll all be disappointed, but so was she -- so let's all just send good thoughts her way and hope to try again next time!

***Hans*** · Jun 8 2008, 05:26 AM

Thanks for the update, Cat, a shame that had to be bad news.

**Cheryl** · Jun 8 2008, 08:46 AM

That is a shame!

jube · Jun 8 2008, 09:19 AM

Boo Hoo and I can't go.

mawra · Jun 8 2008, 11:10 AM

I am sorry to hear that she will not be there. I was hoping to meet her.

***Anneli*** · Jun 8 2008, 05:28 PM

What a shame, I hope she's not badly ill, I remember meeting her back in 2002 and she was a real star
