This weekend I’ll be at the RavenCon science fiction and fantasy convention in Williamsburg, Virginia. RavenCon is a terrific convention, run by a great group of people, and I’ve enjoyed attending and serving as a guest at it for many years.
This year, in addition to a number of panels, I get to play two concerts! Here’s what I have going on, if you’re curious:
Friday:
- 5 pm — Guests Meet and Greet
- 7 pm — Opening Ceremony
- 8 pm — Panel, “Music and Art Influences in SFF Stories & Novels” (Moderator)
- 10 pm — Open Filk
Saturday:
- 10 am — Concert: Gray Sings Silly Songs! (one of which might be “Tauntauns to Glory”)
- 11 am — Reading
- 1 pm — Panel, “Purple Prose” (Moderator)
- 4:30 pm — Baen Books Traveling Slide Show & Prize Patrol
- 10 pm — Open Filk
Sunday:
- 10 am — Concert: Gray Sings Serious Songs (one of which might be “Taking You Out to See the Stars”)
- Noon — Panel: “Spirituality and Religion in SFF”
I hope to debut a new serious song (that I just finished last week!) in my Sunday morning concert, and I may also debut a work-in-progress silly song during one of the open filking sessions. Should be fun, all around!
Safe travels to everyone who’s headed anywhere, and especially to all my fannish friends coming to the con!
