5. I hope you can make Bubonicon reasonably soon.

Bubonicon is one of my favorite cons, and is the first local (to me) con I started attending a few years after I moved to Santa Fe. Among the things I love about it is the name. Yes, Bubonicon means exactly what you think it does. Bubonic plague is endemic to New Mexico, and almost every year we have one or two people who get it. Unfortunately.

Every s-f con I've ever attended has been wonderful, and I have always met and talked with amazing people, especially s-f authors.

Don't know what other cons you attend, but in 2019 I went to SoonerCon, in Norman, OK. OMG! It was wonderful. They had a very huge variety of programming, and I was entranced. Of course, the Pandemic cancelled the 2020 and the 2021 SoonerCons. But 2022 happened. Hooray! I persuaded my sister, not a science fiction person at all, to attend, because I knew that they had a lot of programming that was not necessarily s-f connected. Well, my sister loved it. And she immediately realized that at least one of her grandchildren, and possibly all three, would just love SoonerCon. So tentatively, we will all be there next year. Hooray!

I do love the science fiction world.
