This just dropped into my e-mail inbox:

---------------------------------------------------------
MAGWest 2019 is... September 13-15 at the DoubleTree, San Jose, CA!

Mark your calendars and save those dates because we're officially back this September at an all-new venue, the San Jose DoubleTree by Hilton! We've got a lot of new content coming your way, and we're CROSSING our fingers that you party ANIMALs will join us for a celebration with music and gaming!

We’re hard at work making sure the event has the proper feng shui for the Happy Festival Academy to give us the highest rating, planting our consoles in hopes of getting gold editions, and checking out acts at the local cafe every Saturday night for some performer leads.

Preregistration and hotel booking at our discounted room rate are on the way Soon™, but we wanted to make sure we delivered this information to you wonderful people for proper planning! We'll be sending another email as soon as that info is ready, so just work on your fish/bug/fossil collection until then.


"Wait, I want to perform, talk, showcase, and/or sell at MAGWest!"

Looking at airfare, hotel costs, and then wanting to have cash to spend while I'm there, it looks like I probably won't be able to afford to make any convention trips this year. Unless I can sell my old house, and get out from underneath that expense, I'm gonna have to remain a homebody.
