I\u2019ve officially accepted an invitation to be a guest speaker at Elf Fantasy Fair 2007<\/a>. The incredible thing about this event is it happens at Castle De Haar in the Netherlands! Utrecht, to be exact, April 20-22. They\u2019re expecting approx. 22,000 attendees next year, so it\u2019s a massive event. My fiancee Traci is all excited and it\u2019ll be her first trip to Europe. I don\u2019t know how much of the continent we\u2019ll get to see this time around, but hopefully we\u2019ll do a stop in London for a day or two.\n

The folks at Elf Fantasy Magazine published a cover feature<\/a> on me earlier this year, and their magazine is a first-class, gorgeously-produced affair. Their operation is based in the Netherlands, naturally, and they\u2019re the same folks that organize this massive festival which is a cross-genre, cross-media fantasy\/goth fair. That\u2019s the best way I can summarize what this is, as I\u2019m still learning about it myself. I\u2019m really looking forward to it. Feast your eyes on photos like these<\/a> and you\u2019ll see why.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
