NoirCon 2012 is this coming November. Pulp Serenade will be there. If you love all things Noir, you should strongly consider attending. Without exaggeration, I can say that NoirCon 2010 was one of the best trips I've ever made. There I met in person a number of people I had been corresponding with online, and made a number of new friends that I still keep in regular touch with. The setting is small and intimate, so everyone is able to interact with each other and get involved. You might just wind up using the urinal next to your favorite author, chatting about the previous panel -- hey, it happened to me!

If I can scrape together the wherewithal, I'd love to go.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this is always going to be too close to Bouchercon. Perhaps the spring in 2014?
ReplyDeleteThe Edgars are in the spring. There are so many events, I imagine it is difficult to find a time that doesn't overlap with something else.
ReplyDeleteI am signed up. See you there!
ReplyDeleteI had a great time at the 2010 NoirCon but finances do not appearto allow this year's. Perhaps next time.
ReplyDeleteSee you in November, Mike!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you can't make it this year, Scott -- I really enjoyed our conversations at the 2010 NoirCon. Hopefully we can meet up again at the 2014 edition!
I am quite keen to attend. It's a long way from Australia, but what the hell. I hear so much about it, I think I might have to check it out.
