I went to two other cons this year, #Bubonicon and #ArmadilloCon and we had a much better time. Attendance was higher for each. I don' have numbers but I'd say 400-500 for both.
I'm not using #TusCon as a hashtag because too many people spell #Tucson wrong. So I'll use #Tucson52 to ID the […]
ArmadilloCon was a blast! Good to see so many friends and make some new ones, too. Thank you to the organizers and many volunteers who helped make this event such an amazing experience.
I already mentioned this earlier on instagram.com/authorclirwin & fb.com/authorclirwin, but 2 weeks ago at #ArmadilloCon, I taught the writers' workshop & spoke on panels. It was a phenomenal experience & I'm looking forward to returning. If you love speculative fiction, I highly recommend this con!

A view through large glass windows showcases an outdoor swimming pool surrounded by lounge chairs and potted plants. The scene includes a modern building with multiple windows and a clear blue sky above.
Having a good time at #ArmadilloCon.
The pool scene for Miss Congeniality was filmed at this hotel. Saw Elizabeth Moon, Mur Lafferty, Christopher Brown, and a bunch of other authors. Artist John Picacio is supposed to be here Sunday.
I’m missing #armadillocon so y’all need to be posting updates & anecdotes to make me feel better.

Does anyone know if the #ArmadilloCon hotel has their thermostats set to arctic? I assume yes, because all hotels seem to want to make it snow indoors, but I can’t remember.
Going to shove an extra layer in my bag just in case.

One more thing about #ArmadilloCon-- can we give a shout out to Heath, the best Con Hotel Bar bartender I've ever seen? I saw him remember names and drinks from folks he hadn't seen since last year's con, and he was 100% love and good energy. Tell that hotel to give that man all the raises.
I went to a lovely convention over the weekend ( #ArmadilloCon in Austin) and just followed a bunch of folks I met. Just stalking release news for your upcoming stuff. Thanks for making it a fun weekend, and please don't feel obligated to follow back.
Day Two of #ArmadilloCon. I'll be talking Worldbuilding and Traveling Light, Magic Systems, World Bibles and Bridgerton, as well as signing things! Come say hello!
