This Weekend: Robert A. Heinlein Centennial (permalink)

This weekend I will be attending a convention celebrating what would have been Robert A. Heinlein's 100th Birthday. The event lasts three days: from this Friday through Sunday, and will be held here in Kansas City, Heinlein's hometown, at the Westin Hotel at Crown Center. There are a great deal of events and panels planned, but I will most likely be sticking with the visitors pass, which is significantly cheaper ($10 per day versus $60 a day or $120 for the weekend) but restricts access to just the dealer's room, Heinlein life museum and some panels.

Hopefully, it will be a fitting tribute to the life of one of my favorite authors, and a fun time as well.
