My initial WorldCon schedule!
I've been asked "Gosh, Seanan, where are you going to be during the Montreal WorldCon?" Since "Canada" isn't actually a helpful reply, here is my initial schedule. It's still subject to change, and I'll post again closer to the convention.
THURSDAY.
2:00 PM: Improv Workshop. Step one, land in Canada. Step two, get off the plane. Step three, conduct an improv workshop. Oh, this should be fascinating. I may fall asleep while pretending to pretend to be a tree.
4:00 PM: Did You Know...? Filk trivia with me and Mark Bernstein. And my jetlag. My jetlag will be an active participant. It'll be interesting, even if it isn't terribly coherent.
SATURDAY.
7:00 PM: Panel in the Pool. The description reads "What would dolphins do? What side of the road would cephalopods prefer? Do they make screwdrivers for right-handed octopuses? The panel, in the deep end with lead boots, discusses aquatic intelligences." I'm hoping they don't actually intend to drown me, as I believe murder is illegal in Canada, but I'm happy to talk about squid for an hour. I'm a cheap date like that.
SUNDAY.
10:00 AM: Author Signing. Behold! If you bring me things, I'll sign them!
12:30 PM: Author Reading. I'll be participating in a ninety-minute group reading with Laura Anne Gilman, Margaret Ronald, and Stephanie Bedwell-Grime. I've never met two of the three before. This should be fun.
2:30 PM: Concert: Stone Dragons and Seanan McGuire. We each get a forty-five minute set. I think the Stone Dragons are going first, which puts me on at 3:15 PM. Dave Weingart is my stunt guitarist.
8:00 PM: The Future of Horror Movies. Heh. Heh. Heh...
MONDAY.
12:00 PM: Songwriting Workshop. We're going to be talking about songwriting, different approaches to songwriting, and other musical things. And then I'm going to be running to the airport.
So I'm presently rather lightly scheduled, and that suits me juuuuuust fine. I may wind up added to additional items; if that happens, I'll sing out and let you know.
