Necon prep and packing (and panels!)

[lagilman]

There's something deeply unnerving about knowing that your fiction is going to be sharing GoH pages with Joe Hill. I'm just saying. In defense, I intentionally chose something unfinished and unpolished, so I have an excuse.

Of course, if he does the same, I'm sunk.

Meanwhile, I'm in prep mode, which for Necon consists mainly of making sure I have proper clothing (tank tops and shorts), bug spray, and booze. Oh and polishing up my mini-golf game.

(Seriously. Necon is not like your usual genre conventions)

There's only a single track of programming, but they've got me pretty well cooked:

3 p.m. Between My World and Theirs: Balancing Work for Hire with Your Own Inventions
9 a.m. Magic in Low Places: Fantasy without Royalty (a 9am panel? Someone will Hear About This)
1 p.m. Guests of Honor Interview (Note: extended 90-minute panel). The interviewers are Canadian. I'm sure they'll be terribly polite, right?

You're welcome. ;-)

Actually, I can't take credit. I'm less involved with programming this year since I won't be able to attend. I'm bummed to miss your triumphant return, though!

If that had been your doing I would have heard you snickering already, all the way out here...

And pfffft. I know you're just not coming 'cause you don't love me any more.

What did I love you in the first place? ;-)

I suspect you will be excellent. Have a lovely time.
