I don't know yet whether I'll be Stateside or in Japan this summer, which obviously makes it impossible to plan the summer cons, and I probably won't know for sure about that until early March. (Note to self: fill out relevant applications this week.) I really want to go to Sirens, WFC, and PCA, though that last depends on writing a decent paper for it.

But, yeah. Who else is going to be where? Are there any other cons on the west coast I should know about? (I'm aware of Fanime and SakuraCon.)

http://www.potlatch-sf.org/ -- at some point in the next few minutes there's apparently going to be an open discussion at Borderlands about what stuff people want to cover at the con this year.

I'm going to be trying to put together a set of events for the week between Potlatch and FOGcon for people who come to both; I'll keep you informed as those develop in case you're interested in any of them :)

Oh, I'm definitely interested! My motto is never to let grad school interfere with my social life, if at all possible. =)
