At No Fear of the Future, Jayme Lynn Blaschke offered his take on the recent ArmadilloCon, which featured Tachyon publisher Jacob Weisman as Editor of Guest of Honor.

The guests-of-honor list turned out to be a great lineup: GoH Ted Chiang, Special GoH Ian McDonald, Editor GoH Jacob Weisman, Artist GoH Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, Science GoH Sigrid Close, Fan GoH Michael Walsh and Toastmaster Mario Acevedo. Unlike most years, I managed to spend time with, or attend panels featuring every one of the major guests. They proved to be a witty, insightful bunch that brought their A game. Seriously, they all seemed to be running full steam ahead all weekend.

The GoH interview with Weisman–conducted in tag-team fashion by Rick Klaw and Scott Cupp, with color commentary by Bill Crider–was an interesting capsule history of Tachyon Publications, enhanced by a liberal distribution of Crackerjacks. Afterward, I got to speak with Weisman–quite a thoughtful fellow, if a little more low-key than most of the other lunatics frequenting Armadillocon–and was able to discuss a side project I’ve taken on.
