The Guests of Honor are Tim Powers (author) and Janet Brennan Croft (scholar).
The dates are Friday July 9th through Monday July 12th.
The place is Southern Methodist University** in Dallas, Texas.
The theme is "War In Heaven". Guess I'll need to re-read THE BOOK OF ENOCH and ENUMA ELISH before this summer.
Janice and I haven't been to a Mythcon in several years,*** so this will be a nice change for us. An added bonus is that it's close enough to the Ark-la-tex area that I'll be able to drive over for a family visit afterwards, making this two vacations in one.
So, if you're going to be at Mythcon this year, let me know; it's always good to get together with Tolk folk.

*more formally known as the 41st Annual Conference of the Mythopoeic Society.
**home of the George W. Bush Presidential Library, but don't hold that against them.
***I've been to five in all, I think (six if you count the Oxford Centenary Conf) and served on the committee for two of those; Janice has been to more than I have.
*sigh* No Mythcon for me this year. I have a con (Westercon) over July 4th weekend, which the whole family loves to go to, and really can't physically handle two cons that far apart only one weekend apart.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was very upset when the convention dates had to be changed.

ReplyDeleteNot under construction yet, fortunately.
Well, I hope to be at the con also.
