Even Courtney asked us to take "the pose". Sitting on a couch in the office or I guess some where, and post the pose. My daughter had to take The Pose too. She thought it was funny I was doing this.

World Horror Convention Coming To Salt Lake City
World Horror Convention is coming to Salt Lake City March 27-30th. I'm not really into the Horror genre but I think it's a fantastic opportunity to meet more writers, watch some great indie movies, and basically have a scary time. Come and join the fun.

70 Days Of Sweat
Today starts the Seventy Days of Sweat. This is another opportunity for me to have some type of deadline for completing, or at least make significant progress, on one or more of my Novel’s and short stories. the idea can be found here and is very similar to NaNoWriMo, which is a contest to write a novel in 30 days.
I’m excited to be part of this effort. I’m committed to succeeding where I failed at the NaNoWriMo. I will be updating my progress daily, along with all the other posts I will be writing.

Mountain-Con 4 Scheduled For September 2008
The guys at MountainCon have announced that the fourth event will be held this year, September 19-21, 2008, at the Davis County Convention Center (that's Ogden for those of you not familiar with the area.)
For those not familiar with Mountain-Con, it's a Science Fiction and Fantasy convention. It's a convention for fans. Here is a small description from the official web site:
We acknowledge that individuals and groups have the right to determine which aspect of fandom brings them the most amount of fun. This could include roleplaying games, reading boooks or comics, acquiring & displaying various collectables, anime & cosplay, writing professional or fan stories, performing community service, enjoying TV & movies, live-action role-playing, collecting autographs & meeting guests, collectable card game tournaments, creating fan films, joining fan clubs, filk singing & music, assembling & wearing costumes, traditional wargaming & miniatures, creating fanzines & websites and anything else we may have failed to mention...
One of the really cool things at this convention is a costume parade that is held one evening during the convention. The idea is to have people dress up as their favorite fictional character and walk through the convention hall. It was pretty cool.
The convention has local and regional authors, artists, cartoonists and celebrities. I was excited to attend the 2007 convention because Garrett Wang was one of the special guests. Garrett was Ensign Harry Kim on the show Star Trek: Voyager (my favorite trek series by far.)
This convention has an eclectic mix space discussions, writing advise, a dealer room where you can buy the latest in books and games, to author signings and movie viewing's. Its a great three day event.
The group is offering a weekend pass to the event for $25 if you purchase before the end of February 2008. This is a great deal. Get your tickets now. I bought months in advance last year and I'm glad I did.
They are taking applications for guest and presenters. If you are interested in participating visit the web site and download the applications.
I'll post more as this event gets closer. I'm really excited there will be a fourth event. Thanks guys.
