The Grass is Greener in Vancouver

And now Dallas.

Wouldn't you know it. When I lived in Dallas, I knew some guys who were friends with someone involved in Astronomi-con. I believe some guys even flew up there one year and had a blast. Sounded like it was a large event that would be a lot of fun for the participants and a lot of work for the hosts. Anyway, there was always talk of bringing an Astronomi-con event to Dallas, but I couldn't see any good reason for importing Canadian organizers when we have our own.

Well, now that I am no longer in Dallas, I find out that this con will be held a mile or so from my former apartment (and just up stairs from homebrew AND pipe stores in which I once liked to lurk).

So don't miss Astronomi-con if you're in Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver, OR Dallas:

Strange, don't you think?
