Convention Tip#3 – Stay in the Main Hotel
AKA Look Who's Over There ...

World Science Fiction Convention
AKA Worldcon
I just got back from five days of panels, parties, talking, and walking in Montreal, Canada at Anticipation, the 67th Worldcon. As a fan, I got books autographed by Neil Gaiman. As a writer, I got to meet new and established authors and talk with them one on one.
