Join Us...Won't You?

 At 9am tomorrow morning, a group of hardy authors will gather at a convention hall in West Valley City, Utah.

You should join us.

To be honest, I have no idea what's going to happen tomorrow. It's new for everyone...for the organizers, for the panelists, for the attendees. I do know, however (because I know most of the people involved...) that it's going to be a lot of fun.

I mean, how could it not be?

There will be intellectuals, gamers, nerds, science fiction enthusiasts, fantasy enthusiasts, and others. They'll be under one roof for one day, the first and only day of the Writers Cantina Writing Conference. I will be there to help facilitate the activities and hopefully help others have an amazing time. 

The event is relatively cheap--since pre-registration has come and gone, it's only $20 for people 13 and older, $5 for anyone 12 and under. That's a steal--don't let anyone tell you differently. We'll have best-selling authors, gamers, video game creators, but mostly writers who can't wait to share the "tricks of the trade."

The location: The Utah Cultural Celebration Center, or UCCC. It's at: 1355 W 3100 S, West Valley City, UT 84119. Registration and check-in are from 9am to 9:50am. Then, the fun really begins.

Writers Cantina...The Schedule Is Posted

 

As time ticks on, things that seemed far in the future become nearer...such is the way of it. We make plans, we invite others, we set the date, then we plan. During the months between first idea and final event, people reach out and are contacted, commitments made, and because we tend to be an organize bunch (some of us, anyway...), a spreadsheet forms, names added, times chosen, until a schedule is done.

Subject to change, of course.

The one-day schedule for the Writers Cantina Writing Convention is up. You can access it by clicking: HERE. The plan is for the convention to grow and next year, and have it even bigger the year after that. I'm excited to see how this thing turns out. 

We've got exactly fifty-four days until the doors open in West Valley City. Check out the schedule and see if there's something you'd be interested in. Even if not, you can hang with some tremendous authors and chew the fat. It's going to be great.
