CBLDF/Planet Comics update

Here at BID, we’re starting to get the first rumblings of the response generated by my column about Planet Comics, the comic store in Oklahoma that is facing prosecution for allegedly distributing pornographic material (i.e., comic books by such publishers as Verotik and Eros).

Made it to Dragon*Con

Aside from two traffic hiccups, both caused by accidents (someone else’s; not us) we drove down to Dragon*Con with relatively little problem. Here’s my schedule:

Friday 4:00 PM–Is Traditional Publishing Extinct? Manilla/Singapore/Hong Kong (Hyatt)
Friday 8:30 PM–The Dark Tower. Montreal/Vancouver (Hyatt)
Saturday 10:AM–Gimme the Bottom Line (a panel on the business side of writing). Manila/Singapore/Hong Kong (Hyatt)
Saturday 7 PM–Dragon*Con Guest of Honor Awards Banquet (I’m MC’ing) Regency VI-VII (Hyatt)
Sunday 4 PM–YA Gamer Novels A707 Marriott
Sunday 8:30 PM–Masquerade (I’m judging) Centenniel I-III (Hyatt)
Monday 4 PM–Solo Panel. Athens (Sheraton)

When I’m not at one of the above, I’ll be at my table in Artist’s Alley over in the Hyatt. Also, Kathleen has some terrific stuff entered in the Art Show. Don’t miss it.
