Lunacon!

[jpskewedthrone]

The following is my schedule for Lunacon, the SF&F convention held in Rye Brook, NY starting this Friday through Sunday. I'll be there for all three days. Who else is going to be there? This is where you can find me:


Friday (3/20/2009):

How to Avoid Publishing Scams 6-7pm Brundage B

Description: Warning signs, what to ask, and what to look out for.

Participants: Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Sean P. Fodera[M], Mary Robinette Kowal, Joshua Palmatier, Ian Randal Strock

Saturday (3/21/2009):

Reading 11-11:30am Elija Budd

Participants: Barbara Campbell, Joshua Palmatier

Autographing Noon-1pm Westchester Assembly

Participants: Joshua Palmatier, Lawrence M. Schoen

Queerness and SF 1-2pm Brundage B

Description: Science fiction and fantasy has long been a literature of social and cultural exploration. As we head into the 21st century, with increasing attention being paid to non-traditional expressions of gender and sexuality, how can we use this tradition to make statements about the world we live in, how can we as "fandom" create welcoming spaces for people of non-traditional sexual or gender identity, and how can authors with less experience in such matters treat these questions with respect and dignity in their worlds and writing?

Participants: Linda Anfuso, Rosemary Edghill[M], Joshua Palmatier, Meredith Schwartz,

Sunday (3/22/2009):

Swimming with Dragons Noon-1pm Grand Center

Description: An exploration of our fascination with dragons in art and literature.

Participants: Joshua Palmatier, Diane Weinstein

s0 - are we going to Do Dinner on Saturday, like last year?...

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan to me. *grin* We'll have to try to arrange that. I know Sam and Barbara are going to be there. (Patricia passed on the con this year.) That makes at least four. Is Alex coming?

[anghara.livejournal.com]

he said he will try to be there for at least one day - but that's all I know right now. Of course, this year, if he comes along to partake of the festivities, he will be bringing along a fiancee... [grin]

[clarkesworld.livejournal.com]

I'll be arriving Saturday morning. See you there!

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

Gah! We haven't seen each other in forever! A tentative plan for dinner is being arranged on Saturday night. Let me know if you're free and want to come with us.

[clarkesworld.livejournal.com]

Sounds fun. Haven't made any plans, so count me in!

[delkytlar.livejournal.com]

I posted my schedule, but forgot that we were on that first panel together. Looking forward to meeting you in person.

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

Great! I love to meet people I "know" from online in person. (Hmm . . . I should probably come up with something intelligent to say for that panel.)

[barbarienne.livejournal.com]

Yay, Lunacon! I'll see you there!

Will you be around for dinner on Friday, perhaps?

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

I'll be arriving on Friday, probably around 4ish. So dinner on Friday is possible. Is there a plan yet?

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

Is there a plan for dinner today yet? Or is this all happening once we've reached the con?

[barbarienne.livejournal.com]

Amy and I will be heading to dinner around... well, she says 5ish, but I know you have a 6pm panel. Maybe we can back that up to 4:30ish.

There's a good Italian restaurant in Port Chester that we discovered last year.

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

Italian sounds good. I'll be arriving (I hope) around 4pm, so will give you a call once I'm there and settled in my room.

[lagilman]

I'll be there, although right now I can't remember a damn thing about my schedule....

Oh cool. i'm going with my friend Alan Pollack (an amazing painter) and we will be there Friday afternoon.

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

Find me and say hi!

[sodyera.livejournal.com]

Damn! My arrival will be too late for your first panel. I was planning on attending the third. The middle one, I dunno. I'll have to see if I'm on a panel opposite.

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

See you there!

[sacredmime.livejournal.com]

Cool, hopefully I'll get to run into you there. :)

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

Stop by the reading if you get a chance!

[onyxhawke.livejournal.com]

See ya there.

If i don't show up two or three people will probably send me to sleep with the fishes.
