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):

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
