DragonCon Schedule! (not yet entirely 100% final)

[lagilman]

Please to note:

a) I have a reading. If you want to know what's coming up in 2015, you will be at that reading. Bringing me chocolate will be optional, but appreciated.

b) once again, I'm going to be on a panel with Laurell Hamilton and Jim Butcher. Come to this panel. Scream devotedly when I introduce myself. I will throw YOU chocolate.

c) this is an incomplete schedule, and you will also be able to find me at the SFWA table at various TBA times during the weekend (and also the Missing Volumes dealer's booth, also TBA).

Do you have any food allergies? Or strong dislikes? *plots (chocolate) offering*

[lagilman]

Allergic to raw onions. Please do not combine that with chocolate. Unless cooking a meal with it.

[jesskastar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wasn't going there. lol But good to know!

I have a heavily spiced brownie that I make and you never know when it comes to clove/cinnamon/nutmeg allergies. Also booze. <<>>

Panel with Janny Wurts? My goodness. Please give her my regards. I was her editor back in the day. We haven't kept in touch. I hope she and Don are well.

[lagilman]

I usually see her every year at D*C, even if only in passing...

Could you add the hotel and room names? Would make it easier to find. Does the schedule you're given tell what fan track each panel is on? Just curious because no one ever includes that information on their schedules.

[lagilman]

The room names are still changeable at this point, always best to check when you get there. And nope, though generally I'm on the writing and UF tracks.
