We’ve got two from me, and one each from Chris Garcia and Glug. The font for last issue’s cover got such positive comments, I’ve decided to keep it around for a while. Also, Brad Foster sent us more art, so I went ahead and used one of his pieces on this cover, because it was too much fun to sit on. I was pleased to see that last issue got some letters of comment from folks who don’t usually send them in. Also, the TAFF race has officially begun, so those of you who are getting this by email will also be receiving a copy of that ballot. I made it up to Capclave last month, and I’ll hit Philcon this month. I consider Philcon to be a pilgrimage – it was the first SF con (at least, they called their gathering a convention before anyone else met and did so) . If I had to cut my congoing back severely, I think I’d still try to make StellarCon (my first), Philcon (the first), DeepSouthCon (come hell or high water), LibertyCon (my favorite), and Worldcon (whenever possible) . Which cons do y’all hit every year?  \nTable of Contents:  \n\n| Calendar of Events | Warren Buff | 3 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Review: The Revolution Business, by Charles Stross | Warren Buff | 5 |\n| Review: Shambling Towards Hiroshima, by James Morrow | Warren Buff | 6 |\n| Review: Soulless, by Gail Carriger | Christopher J.

Greg Ayres, Tony Oliver, Newton Ewell, Colleen Clnikenbeard, Kyle Herbert, Ellyn Stern, Richard Epcar, Caitlin Glass, Fred Perry.)  \nMACE (High Point, NC – Best Western High Point. Gaming convention. This isone of the cons I cut my teeth on, and I’ve always enjoyed going when I can. I believe a day trip is in the cards this year.)  \nWeekend in the Realms (Atlanta, GA)  \nMilleniumCon 12 (Round Rock, TX – Wingate Inn and Conference Center. Historical miniatures wargaming.)  \nNovember 12-15:  \nEuro Quest VII (Timonium, MD – Holiday Inn. Boardgaming, blending tournaments and open gaming. Tournaments in Agricola, Power Grid, Princes of Florence, Puerto Rico, Ra, Race for the Galaxy, St. Petersburg, Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride Combo, Thurn und Taxis, and the Hot New Game for 2009:  \nDominion.)  \nNovember 13-15:  \nGame Con (North Little Rock, AR – Wyndham Hotel and Resort. Reuben Langdon, Johnny Yong Bosch, Peter Mayhew, JG Jones. More than the name alone would indicate, this gaming convention seems to have expanded into anime, film, and comics. I’m not sure what to expect, but their prices are in line with other cons, so they may well be worth a try.
