This year's
WFC was held in Columbus, Ohio, USA. Guests of Honor were
Mercedes Lackey, Larry Dixon, L.E. Modesitt, Jr, and Randal Spangler with Jane Yolen as toastmistress.
Turnout was on the low side, partly due to a kerfuffle over the programming and partly over the fact that Columbus isn't a huge draw as a tourist destination. But those who made the pilgrimage to Columbus enjoyed a fun convention with a nice memorial to the late David Hartwell, who passed away suddenly last year.
The con suite was very conveniently placed on the ground floor, and the con suite staff provided much more substantial food than at man cons, although it was usually gone very quickly, it was still a nice change from just a bowl of M&Ms and a bag of potato chips.
This year I attended WFC as a member of Broad Universe, spending some time staffing the BU table in the dealer's room and also organizing the Rapid Fire Reading. I had everything set up, from cough drops to water glasses, but I forgot to get someone to take a photo of the reading!
Oh, well! Here are my other WFC photos.
