Keith Baker: Have Dice, Will Travel

[Aeolius]

*tempts with a Mortal Kombat arcade machine*

Or Mario Bros., over here in Summerfield. I keep an arcade machine locked up in my basement, held prisoner for all of the quarters its brethren stole from me over the years.

Hey Keith, when are you travelling to Canada (Ontario specifically)?

 

[Hellcow]

Unfortunately, May - August is pretty booked up. Here's what I've got at the moment:

May 22-25: Kubla Con in Burlingame, California
May 29-31: A-Kon in Houston, Texas
June 5-7: UK Games Expo in Birmingham, England
(... at which point I'll be in Europe until...)
August 13-16: Gen Con Indy in... well, figure it out.
September 4-7: Pacificon Game Expo, Santa Clara
September 18-20: Gen Con Oz in Brisbane, Australia
(... at which point I'll be in Australia & New Zealand for a few weeks)

And I'm probably out of the US in April, too - so at the moment, I can't really pull off a con before October. Thanks for the offer, though!

(I feel like I should print some tour t-shirts...)

Hey Keith, when are you travelling to Canada (Ontario specifically)?

I don't know yet. I'm still working on my timetable, and at the moment I have to get caught up on my work before I can hit the road. Given the number of places to visit, I mean it when I say I'll be traveling for a year; at the moment, I may not get to Canada until early 2010. It certainly won't be any time before November.

Delaware's close to DC like 2 hours and really close to Philadelphia. So if someone hosts you in Philly you can hop across the river to Delaware.

Hey Keith!

I sent you an email from New Jersey. Not sure if I'll still be in the state post-August. When were you planning on being on the east coast? If you can't make until the fall of this year, you might find yourself with a New Mexico stop instead :-/

Vaca santa! That's a long trip. Don't you have a wife? What will your wife, your cow if you still have one, and/or kids going to do without you?

PS: I am checking with other gamers I know to see if they would be interested in you visiting. TBH I don't have an interesting life or an interesting place for you to crash, so I'm checking with my friends to see if I can drum up a good enough reason for you to visit Tempe.

So when are you heading out, Keith?

 

[Hellcow]

So when are you heading out, Keith?

At this point, probably the beginning of April. I meant to be traveling as of the start of March, but various life issues and work deadlines (finishing my next novel, the Eberron adventure for Free RPG Day, and various other things) has drawn my plans to a halt. However, I am very much committed to hitting the road ASAP - and if you've offered an invitation of hospitality, you'll hear from me soon regarding my plans.

Vaca santa! That's a long trip. Don't you have a wife? What will your wife, your cow if you still have one, and/or kids going to do without you?

No kids. My wife and I were recently separated - amicably, but nonetheless, leaving me without a compelling reason to stay in one place. My cow is portable, though she may stay with my ex-wife for some of the journeys.

Thanks. I'm still definitely interested in adding more stops to my list - I've just been delayed in the initial departure.

Waiting for it, Keith!
