From Facebook:
"Dear friends, due to something unexpected
must have without delay surgery on the next
week, September 13th, so I won't be able to
attend ICE Convention. I feel very bad for all
the people who are expecting me there but I
don't have any options but to do what the docs
say. Next year I'll be in as many Cons as
possible!"
I guess most of you have seen this by now but I thought I'd post it here for any non-Facebookers who may wish to add their well-wishes to the already massive pile.
