Tentative Wiscon Schedule
I'll be getting there on Thursday, around 4pmish, and leaving on Monday, around 3pmish. I am sufficiently recovered from my cold that my plan, once again, is to attend too many panels and parties and neveeeeeer sleep.
Asterisks by the ones I will be PUSHING PEOPLE OUT OF THE WAY to get into. Everything else will depend on who else is going and what else is going on. There are probably things that are VERY INTERESTING that I have missed. Feel free to tell me about them.
At some point between the panels, there are also plans to have an unofficial panel with Chaila and others about fiction's portrayal of women with power." At some point, there will also be "The Inside" watching with aphrodite_mine.
