(This post is intended for those attending OCON next week.)

Bill Perry, a good friend of Paul’s and mine, will attend OCON for the first time this year. So I thought I’d introduce him in advance, so as to increase the odds of him enjoying himself immensely. You’ll see him with us pretty often, I hope. Here’s his picture, and his description of himself:

Bill is a retired prosecutor who has also been a defense attorney and a part-time judge. He is currently serving as a bailiff for a judge who is doing large civil trials. He is a serious poker player. In addition to studying Objectivism since age 15, he is interested in the Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset, and the novels of Terry Goodkind.

Bill is also an all-around excellent guy. I hope other people at the conference enjoy talking to him as much as I do!

If you’ll be at OCON for the first time — or the second or third or whatnot — please feel free to introduce yourself in the comments.
