the Schedule Arisia

[lagilman]

in discussion with one of my first-pass readers yesterday:
evilmeer: what's the point of killing someone you don't care about?
-----------------------------------------
and on that note, I present to you my schedule for my GoH stint at Arisia next weekend (note: all panel descriptions are mine own, not the official convention blurbs).

Fri 7:00 PM The Blood Debate
(what would you give to your fellow human? Why? Why not?)
Fri 9:00 PM F=Fandom, P=Politics,V= Vendetta
(listen to us call our esteemed co-panelists names. Or not)
Sat 11:00 AM Crafting a Story, Criss-crossing Genres (YA)
(take a spaceman, a dragon, a murder, and a romance. Blend carefully.)
Sat 1:00 PM Trend? What Trend?
(writing what you love. writing what's popular. the dangers of both)
Sat 2:00 PM Publishing 101
(come hear all the stupid mistakes we made so you don't have to)
Sat 4:00 PM Criss-Crossing Genres
(same as above, but with Adult Content)
Sat 5:00 PM Autograph Session
(I have a Sharpie and I will sign anything. Within the limits of public decency, anyway)
Sun 11:00 AM Character Creation Workshop
(making them just like people. only interesting. Applicable to gamers, too!)
Sun 12:00 PM Reading
(out loud, even!)
Sun 3:00 PM The Renaissance Man of the 21st Century
(is specialization really for insects?)
Sun 4:00 PM Haiku for You (YA)
(infecting the next generation with this particularly addictive form)
Sun 5:00 PM Why LiveJournal?
(sure, it sucks. but it's better than everything else out there. isn't it?)
Mon 11:00 AM Ripping Off History for Fun and Profit
(or: making your college degree [or someone else's] actually pay for itself)
Mon 1:00 PM The Future of Cities
(Not everyone's fleeing to the exburbs...)


While I hope to see folk I know there, I hope even more to see folk I don't know! come on up, say hi, ask me questions, and feel free to buy me a drink.... (hey, can't hurt, right?)

You may want to cut back on the coffee. :-)

I want to hear the panel for the adult content of criss-crossing genres. The romance of the spaceman with the dragon facinates me.

The romance of the spaceman with the dragon facinates me.

Just remember, according to mythology, most European-style dragons are flamers...

Let us know if you need us to feed the felines while you're gone... :)

I _knew_ there was a convention early this year that I wanted to go to, but someplace in my mind was that it was after Boskone. I'm going to go ahead and look up memberships and flight info but I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.

Argh.

alas, bottle of new single malt and I are stuck in Topeka for the foreseeable future, meaning no Arisia for me this year. New single malt bottle will have to wait to be introduced to you ...

I've got one panel, on Saturday night at 8pm. Maybe you can find time so I can buy you a drink or three...
