Did you realize that I'm leaving town for the first time in ten years for a five-day trip? BECAUSE I JUST DID
AND I AM PACKED AS FUCK
I'll go edit the previous entry, but here is the updated, less detailed version of my schedule--signings, panels, and meetups I am actually involved in are bolded; the rest are things I just want to go to (or are related events); say hi if you're going to them as well (
you will know it's me by the ~press pass~):
FRIDAY, AUGUST 29
MORNING: Vendors at America Mart. If you know where I can find a glass unicorn, LET ME KNOW.

4:00-5:30 PM: ATHENA'S DAUGHTERS SIGNING, Jean Marie Ward and me, tables T38-39 in Pop Artist Alley (Grand Hall East in the Hyatt Regency, adjacent to the Dragon Con Art Show). I am bringing FIVE (5) MOVIES IN FIFTEEN MINUTES PAPERBACKS with me and will keep them out of sight and give them away if you ask about them, first come, first serve. I will also sign literally anything you bring, although let it be noted that there is actually a Black Ribbon story in the Athena's Daughters anthology.
EVENING: At some point after this, I may be able to meet up with some fannibal cosplayers; I'm not sure of the time or place yet.
