All the cool kids are posting their con schedules, and people keep asking me where I’ll be when, so watch me pretend like you care about my WorldCon schedule. Some places I know I’ll be:

• Thursday, September 2 @ 1:00 p.m. in H204: Did We Win? SF and its Takeover of Popular Culture. With Moshe Feder (m), Patrick Nielsen Hayden, Joe Siclari, ( Read more... )

Please don’t let the fact that I’m sitting at home on a Friday night composing a LiveJournal entry lead you to believe that I’m lame, or anything.
