Those of you who know that I’ve attended every Readercon<\/a> since the first in 1987\u2014I believe I’m the only person to have done that save for a few of the committee members—will understand the sadness I felt<\/a> when I learned that in 2012, it would conflict with the San Diego Comic-Con<\/a>, which I cover each year on behalf of Blastr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Readercon without Scott Edelman? Inconceivable! (Well, to me, at least.) Something had to be done … but what?<\/p>\n

This!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of those two men above is now in San Diego, filing copy, while the other is whooping it up in Burlington. I leave it to you to decide which one of us is where.<\/p>\n

If you run across me at Readercon, you’ll see I’ve asked attendees to snap photos with me and either email them or tweet using the hashtag #ReaderconScott<\/a>. <\/p>\n

And what do you know, the first sighting of Edelman in the wild has already occurred …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s Michael Dirda and Paul Di Filippo, who were kind enough to let me carpool with them.<\/p>\n

If you happen to spot me at Readercon this weekend, please snap a pic and send it along, so I can vicariously experience the weekend I’m missing with my tribe!<\/p>\n

And don’t forget to grab my quote at the Meet the Pros(e) party!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
