Guesting at StoCon '08 in Stockholm next weekend

There’s been no mention of this on the blog recently, so I thought I’d drop in a note about it now: I’ll be the Guest of Honor at StoCon ‘08 from the 1st through the 3rd of August. The convention venue is the Kulturhuset in Skarpnäck, a suburb of Stockholm (you can get there easily on the Metro: it’s about a 20–minute ride). If any of you are located locally, it’d be super to see you!

This is going to be a lot of fun, as while I’ve been to a lot of other cities in Europe, I’ve never yet made it up to any part of Scandinavia — and it’ll be super to be able to be there in the summertime.

(For those of Peter’s Swedish fans who might be wondering — unfortunately he won’t be able to make it: he presently has a work commitment that will be keeping him home.)

For some reason, the Google map I embedded below isn't displaying, but if you click on "View larger map" you'll see where the convention will be.

Can't make Stockholm, but I will be in Munich the first week of September.:)

BTW, if you need a good small no-frills hotel in town, let me steer you toward this one. (http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g187309-d232589-r17968913-Jedermann_Hotel-Munich_Bavaria.html) We liked it.

Many thanks, but we are booked at the Hubertus, which I understand is in the Dachau area. It's near my husband's office.

No probs. Feel free to recommend the Jedermann to anybody else, though. It's a nice place.

We did look at the site for the Jedermann, and it's booked solid. We are running into Oktoberfest and several other fall festivals, so most places are already full. We will definitely keep it in mind, though, since we are in Munich at least once a year.

Business trips can be a good thing.:)
