I'm going to this:
http://www.armadillocon.org/index.shtml
Anyone else around here planning on going? I have reserved a hotel but dang it is expensive, so if anyone wants to share, it'd be 125 buckaroos.
I am doing the writer's workshop with my revived fantasy, which I think will be alot of fun and hopefully I will get some good feedback, and have a chance to discuss what, if any, future it may have. I've done one of these before and got LOUSY feedback (this was with Tor editors and the editor I got was so not helpful, dammit) but that was years ago, a lifetime ago for me, and I have a firmer grip on what I want out of my writing life.
This is within driving distance, and the list of attendees looks good, and I see a few familiar names on there from the mystery world. So I will be optimistic.
So! I will obviously drive, so will have wheels, and can fetch from the airport even. I am all ready for an adventure! Join me!

Date: 2010-05-28 02:26 pm (UTC)One of my brothers had hives for about ten years. The images are of his bees in Houston. He gave his hives to a commercial keeper when he moved to Clear Lake two years ago but probably would have done so even without the move. Honestly it's become difficult to be a hobbyist with AHBs so prevalent in Texas. The commercial apiculture guys (still usually small operations but at least ostensibly for profit) can handle ultra defensive bees much better. I've never actually wanted to be responsible for hives but liked being tangentially involved and I do miss it. Well, I don't miss hauling them around, or working the extractor...it's like missing winter from my years in Edmonton without missing shoveling snow!
