Best Con EVER!!!!

[stusegal]

I don't want to offend anyone when I say - NIPPON WAS THE BEST CON EVER!!!     Japan has great food, polite residents anxious to help tourists, and it's the cleanest country I've ever seen.

I'm going to do a few posts over the next couple weeks to cover the Con, but here is a quick look at just a few of the many things that made this a great Con:


We had a full hour, one on one, with George Takei:

There's was actually a Club of Japanese motorcyclist sci-fi fans at the Con:

Steve was asked to Moderate a WorldCon panel:

Good friends, good times:

Invaded by aliens ?!!?  No, it's just Daniel:

If you had half as good a time as I had then you had a great convention too.

Stay tuned over the next couple weeks and I'll tell you how we came to spend time with George Takei, the folks from Traife Buffet and our new motorcycle brothers from Tokyo.

Jeez, I love the picture where it looks like you're interviewing George Takei while I take a nap.

Otherwise: Yep, had a terrific time! Other high points: a nice long mellow chat with Gavin about the small-press life; carrying Frank's head around during the late-night shift on Saturday and explaining to strangers that "Frank Wu Loves You"; helping Ellen Kushner hold up the wall at the Heinlein Society party; realizing that I actually had almost a full house at the 10am kaffeeklatsche, thanks to my awesome new caffeinated con friends; 3D-meeting some cool folks from LJ; hearing Ken Brady's exciting account of how any American science fiction writer can become Neil Gaiman simply by traveling to China; handing out Weird Tales and Earthling stickers to eager stickerees; and, of course, the ongoing father/son culinary tour of the Yokohama convention district.

Denver, you've got a high bar to reach.

Glad to see you're dealing with jetlaglag as well as I am.

Glad you both had a good time.
