I would say that everyone's invited, but...
:)
BTW, I hope you don't mind my mentioning this (because I really can't help myself), but you're quite the moderate kind of guy, aren't you?
The only in-person event I have planned for the year is the Desert Dreams Writers' Conference, April 27-29 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Featuring Peter David, Keith RA DiCandido, Howard Weinstein, Michael Jan Friedman, Bob Greenberger, Aaron Rosenberg, Terry Rioux, Steven H. Wilson, many other authors and podcasters, and oh yeah, ME! I've also talked GLVWG member and YA author, Kieryn Nicolas into going. Actor guests include Michael Hogan, Kate Vernon, and Kristin Bauer.

May - BaltiCon 46 - Baltimore's oldest SF convention. Memorial Day weekend. (http://www.balticon.org/). I was a participant for the first time last year along with my publisher and author Steven H. Wilson. I met Ben Bova! I'm going back again. No idea what panels I'll be on yet.
