Balticon

Balticon has finally released a schedule for this weekend, and here's where I'll be when I'm not in the dealer's room or bar:

Friday 10:00PM: Arrrr, Matey! It Be A Pirate Panel
Saturday 11:00AM: Strong Female Characters
Saturday Noon: Separating Villains from Heroes
Sunday 11:00 AM: What Kind of Life Does an Immortal Really Have?
Sunday 2:00 PM: Beyond Mansquito & Frankenfish
Sunday 6:00 PM: Meet the Crook Winners
Monday 10:30 AM: Reading from THE FIRST BETRAYAL


Looks like a fun time, though a tad disappointed that the "Writing about Beer & Ale" panel didn't make the final schedule :-)

If anyone is going to Balticon, stop by my reading on Monday morning, where I'll be giving away chocolate and copies of THE FIRST BETRAYAL.

...I would *so* like to go to that immortals panel. Jealous! Have fun!

So . . . I assume that means we're staying until Monday?

No panels for me. And I double-checked and did send in my Balticon form letter filled out. Oh well.

That's too bad. I blame it on massive disorganization, not any lack of fame on your part. There's certainly no harm in dropping an email to programming and letting them know you'd be happy to fill in on panels if they get cancellations, and then stopping by programming ops once we arrive to say the same.

And yeah, looks like we're staying till Monday. I hadn't requested a reading slot, but given the timing of TFB's release, I'm looking at this as a sign from the gods that I ought to do the reading.

Maybe you could suggest this for WFC? It would be a really interesting panel with the right set of folks.

Enjoy! Sorry I won't be able to get down there to see everyone again. Damn this low paying job of mine!

Neil, we'll miss you! Hope to catch up with you at another east coast con.

I'll definitely be at Readercon. Have to figure out if I can make Albacon. How about you?

[identity profile] pbray.livejournal.com 2006-05-24 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
I'm the flipside-- Albacon is a definite, Readercon is a maybe. Day job is in IT Finance and Readeron overlaps the dates when we're compiling 2Q results, which means it's tricky to get away.

Ah, ok, I did IT Finance years ago for AT&T. Those quarter reports were a pain. Good luck avoiding them!

Albacon? Yes! ;)
