This weekend we’ll be celebrating science fiction and fantasy in Charlotte — at the Hilton Charlotte University Place, specifically — for ConCarolinas. ConCarolinas is always a fun convention, and the Guests of Honor this year are pretty amazing:
- Music and Artist GOH, Aurelio Voltaire
- Writer GOH, bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon
- Science GOH, Stephanie Osborn
- Gaming GOHs, Clint and Jodi Black
In addition, Baen Books’ Publisher Toni Weisskopf is the Literary Special Guest, and the Music Special Guests include my friends The Blibbering Humdingers, Mikey Mason, and Valentine Wolfe.
I don’t have any solo events — no concert, no reading, no signing — but I have a few panels and other fun things that will get me into trouble:
Friday:
- 4 p.m. — The Dreaded Synopsis (panel)
- 7 p.m. — Princess Alethea’s Traveling Sideshow (variety show)
- 11 p.m. — Campfire Songs (music)
Saturday:
- 3 p.m. — Let’s Write a Filk Song (music panel)
- 5 p.m. — Write What You Don’t Know (panel)
- 6 p.m. — Author and Politics (panel)
- 10 p.m. — Filking the Night Away (music)
Sunday:
- 11 a.m. — Baen Books Traveling Road Show

It should be fun — hope to see you there!
