I’ll be heading off to London in an hour or so. I’m flying to Helsinki on Wednesday, where I’ll meet up with M. John Harrison and Finncon chair Marianna Leikomaa for a press conference on Thursday. We get to Tampere Thursday evening, and then it is Finncon and sauna for three days. Then I have to fly to San Francisco. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get online each day while I’m on the road, though blogging may be sparse. I am, however, hoping to record a podcast or two while I’m in Finland. And there will be photos. I’m apparently judging both cos-play competitions in addition to giving a presentation on masquerades. Expect to be costumed out over the next few days.
