Oh, goodie!!
My partner and I, with our severely geeky adolescent son in tow, can't wait to get to Minicon this weekend! (Actually, he's pulling the wagon on this one. I've rarely seen him so excited about something.) The programming at Cons seems to keep getting better with every one I go to -- or maybe I'm just becoming more enculturated into geekdom. (Is that even possible?) Hmm.
Anyway, it's really fun seeing local authors posting their schedules, and even though I'm not an author (maybe someday), I decided to post mine too!
