Con on the Cob 2007 starts in about two and a half hours and ends Sunday evening. This is good news for my inner geek and bad news for my aspiring writer. On the other hand, maybe a little geeky distraction is just what I need to push through to 20,000 words. Ideas come from the strangest places, after all.

There are a handful of reasons I’m going to the con instead of writing:

• Miscellaneous G™ is one of the organizers.
• Fantasy artist Larry Elmore will be there.
• Green Ronin’s Wild Cards expansion for their Mutants & Masterminds RPG. If you’ve been reading KJToo.com for a while, you probably know that Wild Cards is my favorite sci-fi/superhero/alternate history series in the history of ever, and it’s a perfect setting for a roleplaying game.

It’s after 1:00 already and I’m carpooling with Gus, who’s going to be here in 30 minutes or so. I’ve got to get ready. Beard pictures when I get home tonight (probably after midnight).
