As I kick off my convention season, I thought I’d share a round-up of my convention related tips for anyone interested in going. I’ve got stuff for first timers, veterans, and panelists.

Anything I’m missing?
If you want to see me live, I’ll be at RavenCon in Richmond, VA from April 24-26th, Balticon in Baltimore, MD from May 22-25th, and Imaginarium in Louisville, KY from July 17-29th. I’ve penciled in WorldCon/LAcon V in Los Angeles, CA from August 28-31 and CapClave in Rockville, MD from October 2-4th.

Are there certain events that appeal more than others?
