Whereat I Shall Be

I’m flying off on Wednesday for that royal throne of kings, that sceptred isle,
that earth of majesty, that seat of Mars, that other Eden, demi-paradise, that fortress built by Nature for herself against infection and the hand of war.

Which is to say, England.  Where I will be Guest of Honor at EightSquaredCon, this year’s Eastercon, or national convention.  Which will be held in the rusting post-industrial hulk of Bradford, the very name of which (I am told) causes English people to break out in savage laughter.

Be that as it may, I’m told Bradford is also the best place in Europe for Indian cuisine.  So if you’re in the neighborhood, I hope to see you all over a curry or three.
