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.)

Pretty sure I'll be at Philcon this year. I'm annoyed at myself for missing it this past year. Probably will stop in at NY Comic Con if other friends are going. I don't tend to go travel much for cons, it's just too complicated with Shabbos.

[starlady]

Yeah, I'm sad I missed that one, since it's about 20 minutes from my house in Jersey.

[seekingferret]

It's more like 40 minutes for me, but yeah. I went two years ago, had a really good time, was planning to go again this year, then busy-ness plus other things on my mind intervened.
