I’ll be attending my very first convention this month -- ArmadilloCon 27 in Austin, Texas. Here’s my convention guest schedule:

Day One -- Friday August 19, 2005

8:30 a.m. to 5: p.m. – Teaching at the ArmadilloCon 27 SF/F Writers Workshop. (I’ll be team teaching with Martha Wells. Coolness!)

5 p.m. onward – Wandering, looking for dinner, checking out the Opening Ceremonies, mingling at the Meet the Pros Party, and wandering some more.

Day Two – Saturday August 20, 2005

10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. – Wandering yet again, finding lunch, wandering further.

2:00 p.m. To 3:00 p.m. – Autographing. (Autographing what, I wonder? The Zeppelin anthology is about the only autographable item I can think of at present. I may slip away to listen to Martha’s reading.)

3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. – Sitting on the “Good Weird Fiction” panel with such nifty writers as Mikal Trimm (moderating) and Joe Lansdale.

4:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. – Yet more wandering, consuming dinner, and additional wandering.

11:30 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. – Reading. (Any suggestions for reading material will be greatly appreciated.)

Day Three – Sunday August 21, 2005

10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. – Wandering again and searching for lunch.

1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. – Sitting on the “Rewards of Electronic Publishing” panel.

2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. – Wandering the con for the last time.

This should all be quite fun. :-)
