"I'm not the kind of man who tends to socialize
I seem to lean on old familiar ways..." - Paul Simon
I've been toying with the idea of attending next year's World Fantasy Convention in Calgary (just as I toyed with the idea of attending last year's in Austin and this year's in Saratoga). A lot of what I've read online makes it sound like great fun. Of course, it also makes it sound a lot more like a reunion, something better suited to past attendees and World Fantasy Award nominees. It's not as if there's a sign on the door that reads, "Newbies not welcome," but still, I've been thinking it might be better to start with something different, and smaller -- like maybe Readercon in July, for instance.
(I'm also slowly trying to put together a trip to Los Angeles with friends for next fall, so that could eat into my already limited vacation time and disposable income.)
And then I read something like this, and I think: he's never attended before, and he had fun... So I don't know.
How many months does it take to get a passport?

I don't know what the current processing time is, but if you apply now, you'll certainly have one in time for next WFC. And remember that the Worldcon will be in Montreal the year after that. And having a passport is generally very useful ID anyway. I'd say send in your application now so you don't have to worry about it.
