How's this for a last-minute decision? I've just decided I'm going to be attending Pi-Con. This weekend! And even more miraculously, the dealers' room people have managed to get me space at the con to sell my books. Haven't heard from the programming department yet if there's room for me on program ( Read more... )

Balticon is this weekend, and once again, I'm looking forward to a very busy convention. If you're in the vicinity of Hunt Valley, Maryland, think about attending. I've heard good things about this convention, but it'll be my first (or my first in a very long time).

I'll be running the Fantastic Books table in the dealers' room, which is open 4 to ( Read more... )

Just posted a few photos from Lunacon in this Flickr set.

Well, assistant baker, at least.

Just finished baking Kit's Ultimate Fudgy Brownies for the party at Lunacon (see this post. And my variation, with white chocolate chips inside of semi-sweet chocolate chips, is about to come out of the oven.

Tomorrow, I'll be baking the Mondel Cookies. Oh, and there'll also be shopping, sign making, and, well, ( Read more... )

Lunacon is this weekend (in Rye Brook, New York), and it's going to be a very busy weekend for me.

First, I'll be staffing the Fantastic Books table in the dealers' room (open 5-8 Friday, 10-6 Saturday, and 10-3 Sunday).

My preliminary programming schedule is:
Friday, 9PM in Poplar: "Drowning in Ink" (new markets for writers) with Patrick Thomas

Just posted my review of the convention on SFScope. Rather than reposting it here, I'm just offering this link to it.

I've known it for a while, but I'm now realizing that I'm going to be a bit overwhelmed this weekend at Arisia. Neither of my usual con-going partners can make it (one is out of town long-term, the other isn't ready for Arisia, but she'll be coming to Boskone with new artwork). So I'm looking for a friendly person (or two or three...) to help out ( Read more... )

For my sf-nal friends:

Do you attend Arisia or Boskone? Do you go to both every year? Only one regularly? Alternate between the two? And do you attend as a pro or as a fan?

I'm going to both this year, I've got dealer tables lined up at both, and I'll be on programming. I'm curious what others think of them. Thanks.

Things are coming together for the weekend of 14-17 January 2011. I'm going to be in Boston, at Arisia, with just about no free time. If you're looking for me, look on programming, in the dealers' room (not dealers' row), and most especially at the party Sunday evening ( Read more... )

All right, I know, I'm probably late with this, but there were some problems. At any rate, I'm going to be very busy at Arisia in a couple of weeks (on programming, table in the dealers' room, etc.), but I need to be a little busier. I want to throw an introductory party for Fantastic Books, which will also be a book launch party for Daniel M. ( Read more... )
