So I'm going to be going to Satellite 3. This is a smallish Sci-Fi con taking place in the Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow. You might think I'd be put off by 'small' after Novacon, but I'm struck by how much effort the Satellite people are putting into their con. They've been promoting it at both Eastercon and Novacon and presumably other places that I didn't go. They plan on running two streams of programming, (Novacon was only one) and have some events lined up already, including multiple talks and panels. And at the end of the day it's in central Glasgow, so if I'm not a fan of the con (and I admit I'm hard to please) I can just explore the city. Also, these people are the major bidders to run Eastercon 2014, so they're clearly serious folks.
