So the Nebula awards are coming to Austin this April and I’ve already bought my weeny membership-only pass. That’s right, no awards banquet for me. I’ll probably be down the street at Lovejoys, drinking their barley-wine homebrew, waiting for the post-banquet parties to start up. <\/p>\n

For the first time ever, there’s going to be a sci-fi con that’s close enough to where I live that I can stumble home on foot at the end of the night if I’m to uncoordinated to ride my bicycle. <\/p>\n

To celebrate the auspiciousness of such an auspicious institution coming to Austin, SPACE SQUID is going to release issue #5 at the awards con. There will be a party of course, and maybe other events and festivities. A new "Slacker Map of Austin" is in the works, this time with greatly expanded content including an in-depth guide to the "entertainment district."<\/p>\n

Does it make me a poor citizen of Austin if I can’t use the term "entertainment district" without quotation marks?<\/p>\n

We’re all looking forward to SPACE SQUID issue #5. There will be a funpage of course (always my favorite part), cartoons, and lots of fiction from the likes of Austin’s own Melissa Tyler. <\/p>\n

SPACE SQUID officially congratulates former SPACE SQUID contributor Jennifer Pelland for her Nebula nomination. Her nominated story is online<\/a> at Helix, and her story "Clone Barbecue" is in Space Squid #2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
