Hi Brandon,
I have been enjoying your books immensely. I am currently part way through the Hero of Ages and it is very hard to put down. Anyhizzle, I will be attending Gen-Con in Indianapolis this year and was wondering if you would be attending as a part of their "Authors Avenue" ?( I think that's what they call it) I have emailed Gen-Con staff letting them know I would like to see you there so I figured the other way I could get this ball rolling was to just ask you or get as close as I could to asking you! Thanks for giving me such great stuff to read and I look forward to reading Warbreaker soon!
your fan,
Matt

I have been pondering whether to go or not. Indy is my backyard, but when you go every year, it kinda fizzles out a bit as far as the scale of awesomeness goes. It's been a year or two since I've been there, but if Brandon is going this year, I will totally make it a priority, haha.

Brandon has no plans for Gen-Con this year. However, Howard Tayler will be there, and you could ask him to doodle in Brandon's books for you.
Brandon's schedule is at http://brandonsanderson.com/events — One probable appearance that is not listed there yet is Comic-Con in San Diego.

That's sad... thanks Peter! So when is our boy going to make it to Indiana? Haha...
Well, going to see Howard would probably be worthwhile. I wouldn't ask him to doodle in one of Brandon's books, but I'd have to order a Schlock book, because I would appreciate a customization from him as well, haha.

Brandon has no plans for Gen-Con this year.
Is that a definitive no or if they were to contact him would there be a possibility of him attending or is it just not good schedule wise? Also has he been there before? I will go see Howard though for sure.
Thanks again.

Since I haven't got an answer I'm guessing no? I understand he is busy trying to get the second to last WoT book done, and I guess its too bad that his RPG won't be done yet because it would seem like a great Con to promote it at.
-
You know, I think I've decided to go to GenCon cosplaying a random Mistborn...
-
Brandon's con schedule for 2010 is full, and his 2011 schedule is almost full.
-
thanks for the extra information and I guess I'm not surprised that he is so busy, especially with non-con related stuff like oh I don't know Books!
But still...almost full, does that leave a chance of going to Indianapolis next year?
-
At this point, a con needs to invite Brandon as a guest, which includes paying for a flight and hotel room.
-
Well Vazza... you know what that means? We need to petition GenCon Indy.
-
Yeah for sure. Hey Wolfstar, did you happen to play any Zombie Larps at GenCon? If you played Rising then I met you there and took your picture!
Also I will for sure get on the GenCon boards and ask them to have him there! Here's hoping!
