I came on here because I really enjoy the work put into this page and have browsed this site alot over the past year. I am organizing (with permission of my friend GRRM) the Ice and Fire Con next year - the fan based literary ASOIAF in America. And GRRM said he'd be able to go to it if it is still around in two years (he is really busy right now and those that go the first year get first chance at tickets that year).

There is a long blog about it here:

THE ICE & FIRE CONVENTION is being held at Ravenwood Castle in south-central-ish Ohio, FRIDAY APRIL 26th – SUNDAY APRIL 28th. Yes panels and accommodations are in the Castle and castle cottages. We are planning photoshoots, a mock Westeros election, several panels, a mini-tournament, a gaming night, medieval lunch, high teas, feast and costume contest, actually many contests for awesome prizes. All completely ASOIAF-related, of course.

There will be three price tiers for tickets (two of which include a meal or meal[s]) and you *must* stay on site accommodations, but castle rooms are pretty affordable and include breakfast.

(Let me note that they are already nearly sold out of the Dragon VIP tickets, and right now have 58 tickets left. Though no one has bought priority seating.

If anyone else is going let me know – I'd be glad to meet you. And be glad to promote the game
