I followed a few links from the Conestoga website, and discovered that OUr own Jim Butcher is Guest of Honor at ConDFW VII, which convenes this weekend (Feb 20-22).

Jim's joined as Guest of Honor by David Weber, whose name will be familiar to readers of military SF.  (His Honor Harrington series takes up lots of space on library and bookstore shelves.)

Not sure I can get down there for that one...
