I'm attending the Philadelphia Science Fiction (SF) Society's general meeting this Friday, 14 December 2007, to see Campbell Award Winning SF writer and popular blogger John Scalzi.
How much do I like Scalzi? Enough that, earlier this year, I was debating driving to Virginia to see him. (I hear he gives great talks, but my primary source of information for that assessment is Scalzi's own blog.)
Why do I like him? He writes well. He writes frequently. I'm jealous, and I hope a freak accident transfers his superpowers into me this Friday.
Why am I blogging about this? So you can go too. I'm happy to drive any friends to Philly for the meeting. It starts at 21:00 and I plan to be there about 20 minutes early. My route is west along route 38, south down interstate 295, and over the Walt-Whitman bridge. If you want to go, and you're not far from my route, please contact me before Friday afternoon. I have room for three people if one of them has short legs or enjoys pain.
Thanks to my cousin Phil for introducing me to Scalzi's blog.
