Arlington Heights, Ill.

The Pirate Guys and Mad Sally (along with their pal Don Maitz and author Mike Resnick) are guests of honor at the 28th annual science fiction con, this year with a pirate theme. Rumor has it the lads will join filker extraordinaire Tom Smith in a rousing chorus or two of the official TLAPD theme song, too.
