Sci-Fi Comes to Raleigh — This Weekend
Are you into science fiction, fantasy, and/or horror?
If so, you may be interested to know that this weekend (August 5-8), Downtown Raleigh will host NASFiC (the North American Science Fiction Convention), which is held in years when the World Science Fiction Convention moves overseas (this year’s will be held September 2-6 in Melbourne, Australia).
Programming includes an art show and auction, a masquerade and masked ball, films, gaming, sales of books and genre-related collectibles, panels on writing, and a variety of workshops, among other things.
As a science fiction writer myself, I’m looking forward to reconnecting and schmoozing with publishers, agents, and fellow writers.
Anybody else getting their geek on and going?
Oh wow, I didn’t even know that this was coming! I won’t be attending as I have to work this weekend, but I do plan on going downtown anyway. I’m kind of excited to hopefully see more cosplayers.
