We attended Ravencon at the Doubletree Inn near the Richmond, VA airport. A good time was had by all. There were many interesting panel discussions, lots of games, and many sights to see.
Steve Stiles was the artist guest of honor. His sense of humor was particularly engaging.
Robert J. Sawyer was the writer guest of honor. He was an outstanding speaker, who is one of only seven writers in history to win all three of the world's top awards for the best science-fiction novel of the year -- the Hugo, the Nebula, and the Joseph W. Campbell Memorial Award. He is the only writer in history to win the top science-fiction awards in the United States, Japan, France, and Spain. He seemed rather young to have accomplished all of this. Definitely a talented man.

At Ravencon 2007, I attended several panels on Friday and Saturday. Panels that I attended included: Edgar Allan Poe—Marty or Master; The Mastery Panel; Workshop Creating A Fanzine; Why Are We Addicted to Lost; Electronic Gadgets in Costuming; The Pods of Podcasting; Behind the Scenes(Trail of the Screaming Forehead movie); The Once and Flu-ture Pandemic; Quick Write; and Star Trek Anonymous. I also enjoyed some new Star Trek movies early Sunday morning. I saw William Windom, Walter Koenig, Mary-Linda Rapelye and Antoinette Bower (I believe) in those two short movies.
