I had the honor of being the presenter of the Julie Award at the Dragon*Con banquet Saturday night to Stan Lee. Below is the text of my speech:

Taken at the Dragon*Con banquet, me in deep conversation with Stan Lee and Neal Adams. There are days I can’t believe my life.

DragonCon has reinstate Peter’s 4 pm Monday Panel in the Trek Track.

Come join us (Caroline and I will be there too) for Peter’s panel. He has some pretty exciting stuff to talk about including a project that we have kept under wraps for almost two years now.

Athens room in the Sheraton.

In keeping with one of David’s Rules of Cons, I’m fully aware that even though I’m posting my schedule and will also be spending plenty of time at my table at Artist’s Alley, there are STILL going to be a ton of people saying, “I couldn’t find Peter David.” So with that sense of futility foremost in my thoughts, here’s my schedule

Saturday, 10 AM–Turning Stellar Rejections into Sales. Hyatt: Manila/Singapore/Hong Kong
Saturday, 4 PM–Comics as SF Literature. Hyatt: Fairlie
Saturday, 5:30 PM–Comic Book Scripting 101. Hyatt: Hanover
Saturday, 7 PM–Dragon*Con Awards Banquet (Presenting “Julie” Award)
Saturday, 10 PM–Doctor Who Vs. Star Trek. Hilton: Crystal Ballroom
Sunday, 11:30 AM–Autograph Session, Marriott: M301-M304
Sunday, 8:30 PM–Dragon*Con Masquerade
Monday, 2:30 PM–Star Trek Authors Panel. Sheraton: Athens

Anyone know any females in the DCU with the first name “Amber?”

I already know the Amber who is one of the personalities of Chain Lightning, although if she has a last name, that would be good to know.

For the past ten years, the TrekTrack at Dragon*Con has had, as its last panel, a solo hour with me. I was dubious about the proposition initially, but it’s become something of a tradition and I usually have a packed house. Apparently a number of people have gotten used to finishing out the convention with that hour. So imagine their surprise when the schedule was posted this year and it was gone.

Wasn’t my idea. Someone new was put in charge of the programming. I got the schedule a few weeks ago and fired off an email pointing out the omission. I never received a response. And now the schedule is up, and people are inquiring of both me and Kathleen what the hëll happened.

Well, I’m the wrong person to ask. Apparently the person you should be asking is Dave Gordon. He wasn’t responsible for the omission, but he’s the person to address. Be nice; be polite; remember, it wasn’t his call. He can be reached at:

Meanwhile, what took the place of the hour with me? A generic hour in which fans are supposed to discuss what went right and wrong with Trek programming. Yeah; I wonder how that’s gonna go?

And this Democrat cleared the primaries and was the Senatorial candidate, I swear to God I’d vote Republican.
