It's the
39th annual incarnation of this celebration of the more fantastic genres of literature –
science fiction,
fantasy,
slipstream,
horror – the iteration whose coming was foretold in
our cover story just a few issues ago, now geeking out in a highly social fashion at the Omni Southpark, with guests of honor
Nisi Shawl,
Tamora Pierce,
Mark A. Nelson,
Trevor Quachri, and more. With hundreds of fans from Austin and beyond this city's borders. With three days of unmitigated mafficking in a near-magic milieu.
Q'pla!
