Made it to Dragon*Con

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

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.

6:20 PM–Drizzle starting to fall pretty regularly. I bought a pump for the basement that I can employ if there’s flooding of more than an inch. Got the wrong sized hose and had to run back to the hardware store to get the right size, but now it’s all set to go. News is filled with various administration people saying that we should leave.
