I can't believe I volunteered!!!!

...it's not the strolling, mind you. It's the getting up EARLY at a convention. Woe is me...anyone come along with me...in lovely Denver.

Strolling With The Stars
Stu Segal

To encourage a healthier, more active environment at Denvention 3 we are scheduling a 9AM walk every morning. We'll leave from under the Big Blue Bear at the Colorado Convention Center, and we'll stroll for a leisurely mile through downtown Denver. Each day's walk will be led by a Famous AuthorTM, Artist, Editor or Scientist who will not only lead the walk but will interact with the participants. Join luminaries like Frank Wu, David Brin, Jay Lake, Ellen Datlow, John Picacio, Lou Anders, Paul Cornell, Scott Edelman, Mary Robinette Kowal and Stephen H. Segal for a gentle, friendly stroll to get the day started on an upbeat note.

Sucker!

I wanna go to Denvention. All I have to figure out is how to afford it . . .

But if what I've heard about WorldCon is true, I don't know how anybody can possibly be up by nine!

Does this mean an end to your nocturnal-ness, at least during the Con?

If my Wiscon schedule could be any indicator, I was up at 7:30AM every day.
It's still a mystery to me. (Or not, as I was eating up every second of programming I could get)

If I make it to Denvention 3, I'll be there bright and ugly in the morning.

That's a keen idea!!!!

It's a great idea, but that late in the morning? They should be sponsoring a walk at midnight, so everyone can get out and look at the stars: they don't get any more beautiful than around Denver, and I speak from experience.

Have fun anyway... ;o)

I'll see if I can join you. I won't be staying at the Con, but I might be able to make it downtown for a walk or two.

[zhai.livejournal.com]

That is a really cool idea. Hope it's fun!

[maryrobinette.livejournal.com]

I've got noble plans for trying to go to all of them, just because I like the idea.

Anyone else look at the Denvention site and think that David Brin looks like LOST's John Locke?

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

I won't be there (my "woe is me" is in the money dept., as I can't afford to travel there!) but the chair for the Discworld con I'm part of will be - I'll tell him he should go for some walks. :)

You're a STAR!!

What a great idea! Umm, is 9am really early for these conventions? Hmmm....
