life is what happens while you’re making other plans

For a couple of months, I’ve been making plans to return to the Tulsa Trek Expo as part of the 2008 Geektour.

I know there are a number of people who have been planning to come to the show because I’m on the guest list, and I know I’m going to disappoint a lot of people, but I’ve had to cancel my trip to the con.

I’m not going to go into details, because it’s awfully personal and none of anyone’s business, but I hope anyone who’s upset will try to understand and accept it when I say, "It’s personal, it’s family, and that’s all I’m prepared to say publicly about it."

I’ve already talked with the convention’s mysterious overlords, and we’re making plans to have me come out for the 2009 convention. In fact, Anne and I are already planning to make another road trip out of it.

I feel truly awful about this, and I’m incredibly sorry. I know that it’s going to be a great con, and I’ll definitely be there next year.

  1. Wil, take care of what you have to do. We’ll always be here for you. Family is always #1.
    Sending more good mojo your way!

  2. First off, so sorry to hear about that. I pray everything is alright with your family, and no details needed. You do have rights to privacy 😀
    Second, just found you through the connection IMDB (was seeing what happened to TNG peeps – you were the closest to my age), your profile sent me to your site, at which you hooked me with the line “3d20 geek points “. 😀 Yay, ADnD! ([smaller voice] “yay, geeky me…”). Look forward to checking more of your site out, God bless…

  4. Sending good thoughts and wishes your way. I admire you for having the guts to put first things first and be candid about it to your fans.

  5. Wil – You rock – your family always comes first. Whatever it may be that is holding you from this trip, please understand that no explanation is necessary ever – based on all your posts on your family, they are pinnacle in your life. I hope that all is well and bless you and your wonderful family.
