Any word on a guest list for Shore Leave this year? Any authors from this board planning to attend?
Shore Leave 33
- Thread starter KirkPicard
- Start date
Shore Leave tends to announce their first guests just before Farpoint in February. The usual gaggle of authors are expected but we await our formal invitations. That has not stopped Dave Mack from already planning the third annual charity roast.
I look forward to this year's...last year was my first ever con, and meeting David Mack, Dayton Ward, Kevin Dillmore, Kristen Beyer, Greg Cox and so many more (I believe I met you as well Mr. Greenberger, I was the Soldier in uniform because I came from work...it was funny to see how many people kept asking me, "What are you supposed to be?" "Um, I'm a Soldier." "No, I mean...Oh. OH!" LOL)....it was the single best night I have had since I got home in May 09. Thanks to all for such a great time, and I hope to see you again. And I have a case of Rip It energy swill for Dayton Ward. :-)
I'm gonna try to make it out again next year...maybe even driving and hitting a couple ballgames in Cleveland and Pittsburgh going in and coming back. I'm trying to hit all the Major League ballparks.
This time I'll do my best to book the right hotel...I accidentally chose the Courtyard across the highway last time. Didn't turn out badly as it's not far at all but it made lugging books back and forth in my totally stuffed backpack a workout.

Who's the guest of honor?
I had a blast as an Author Guest at Shore Leave in 2007, and I'd love to go back. 
Right now, I'm trying to decide which con I want to travel to in 2011, and Shore Leave is definitely on the shortlist...

Shore Leave doesn't do the "guest of honor" schtick. It has guests — some actors, some writers — all of whom it treats wonderfully.
I think he was asking who's going to get roasted.
See, then he should've said "guest of dishonor."

Will you all cross your arms and turn your back on the dishonourable? Is this some kind of ritual every shore leave goes through?
You know you'll be the guest of dishonor if your brother shows up to visit you beforehand.
Sorry, my mistake.
The current plan is to roast the esteemed Mr. Robert Greenberger.
I plan on being there to finally be able to sign Myriad Universes: Shattered Light. I hope that my fellow authors in the anthology will be there . . .
Dave, at some point you're going to run out of bearded New Yorkers to mock mercilessly.
^ We'll burn that bridge when we come to it.
Thanks for the replies everyone. Hoping to attend this July and interact with Trek Lit fans and authors in person. Also want to sit in on one of these roasts. Watched clips of MJF from last year being eviscerated by David Mack and PAD.

At which we simply start importing bearded authors from the Mirror Universe . . . .
