No less than three press releases in my inbox from Anticipation this morning. This is generally a bad idea, unless you want to bury some of the news you are announcing, but I will mention all three anyway.

First up the convention has an Artist GoH. He is be Ralph Bakshi. Yep, the guy who did the animated Lord of the Rings movie. That’s a fascinating choice. I’m impressed.

Secondly, Anticipation will be hosting the Prix Aurora Awards. That was pretty much expected, but it is nice to have it confirmed. Science Fiction Awards watch will be there – live if Internet connection permits.

And finally Anticipation now has an installment plan for those of you who can’t manage to pay the whole membership at once.

As ever, full details at the convention’s web site.
