Alright, since I don't want to be the kind of person who only posts here when I need to plug my convention, I bring you a gift first.

At JordanCon, back in April, we were lucky enough to have a fan videotape most of Brandon's appearances and upload them for viewing.  So if you weren't able to make it, you can still see much of what Brandon did while he was in Atlanta.

This is the "Meet Brandon Sanderson panel". I'm the tiny woman harraguing him about his dietary habits. What can I say? I make my own yogurt. =)

It was an hour long, so it's broken into segments.

If you poke around, you can find his writing workshop and his Team Jordan panels.

The second thing, is an announcement. Brandon very graciously accepted my invitation to be Guest of Honor for JordanCon next year.

Age of Legends, LLC is pleased to announce that JordanCon 2010 registration is now open. Pre registration is currently $50, with group discounts available.

JordanCon programing will include three tracks of simultaneous programing over all three days. The Forum is dedicated to Wheel of Time theories, trivia and discussion, as well as the varied worlds of author Brandon Sanderson. The Workshop is dedicated to costuming, gaming, jewelry making, martial arts, dance and period crafts. The Writer’s track, which is new in 2010, is for writers, editors and publishers of genre literature. Our Dealers Hall will feature a variety of vendors, including Badali Jewelry, maker of Wheel Of Time and other licensed fantasy jewelry.

I'm not sure if any of you made it this year, but we're always excited to have SanderFans join us at JordanCon. Quite a few of us have also joined your tribe and we like to see you guys. =)
