So, okay, I've been thinking. For about three seconds, actually, but still...
The Apero meeting that ZP put together in Paris is a great idea, but what do you do in Paris after meeting for drinks with the MR crowd? Not much is the answer.

However: Most of us read SF and Fantasy. Almost all of us are geeks (You know who you are, missy!) And what is more geeky and SFF-y that a World Science Fiction Convention? That's right -- nothing!

Next year in Montreal (http://www.anticipationsf.ca/) is Anticipation, WorldCon # 67. Too late for Denvention, 6 Aug 08, but let's start planning on a Contingent of MR-ers to have the:

First Somewhat Annual World Science Fiction Convention Meeting of the Ministry of Unutterable Silliness and Attendant MobileRead Members Who Think That All of That MUS Stuff Is, Well, Silly (FSAWSFCMMUSAMRMWTTATMSIWS) descent on WorldCon.

Get your reservations now, since I'm sure this will cause a stampede for the membership room.

If I can figure out how to create a Social Group, I will. Otherwise I'll whine and look pitiful until Neko does it for me.
