This coming weekend I’ll be at the newest local SF&F convention, illogiCon. The Guest of Honor is Hugo- and Nebula-Award winning author Joe Haldeman.
(The illogiCon mascot, Professor Schroedington.)
They’ve got me pretty busy, probably to keep me from getting in too much trouble.
On Friday the 13th I have one panel and a reading:
- 4:00 PM – Do We Need a New Definition of Literacy?
- 8:00 PM – Reading (along with Tony Daniel, the newest editor at Baen Books) — and, there may be singing of a filkish nature
- Later – Filk
Saturday should be interesting:
- 11:00 AM – Science Fiction and Ethics
- Noon – The Day Job With Writing at Night
- 1:30 PM – Baen Traveling Slideshow
- 8:00 PM – The Golden/Silver/Bronze Ages of Science Fiction/Fantasy
- Later – Filk
And Sunday’s panels all focus on science-y topics:
- 10:00 AM – Interstellar Transportation
- 2:00 PM – The Future From Now
- 3:00 PM – Is the United States Still #1 in the Space Race?
All the festivities take place at the Brownstone Inn — a.k.a. the Doubletree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone-University — on Hillsborough Street. Hope to see you there!
