I can now announce that I'm a Guest of Honor at Swancon 36 in Perth, Australia, 2011. I'm very excited to return to Perth. I was there in 1995 co-guesting with Pat Cadigan. It was my first time in Australia and I was overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone involved and surprised in the crossing interests of the attendees--the readers/gamers/etc all mingled far more than at US conventions. That was also the first time I traveled to Sydney and Melbourne. Since then, I've had the opportunity to see more of the continent.
I thank the con committee for inviting me, and I look forward to hanging out with Justina Robson, who was a Clarion West student of mine many years ago, and Sean Williams, who is one of my favorite people. And I look forward to meeting the fan GOH Sarah Xu.
