I’m going to RustyCon!

RustyCon is a scifi/fantasy convention that has been running 35 years in the Seattle, Washington area. It from January 12th to the 14th, at the Seattle Airport Marriott hotel and convention center. It looks like it’ll be a lot of fun, so if you’re in the area, stop by and visit me! I love meeting fellow Tolkien-nerds.

Quoted from their front page:

Rustycon is a non-profit volunteer run convention. Our staff is putting together the best little gathering this hotel can handle!
