You Just Keep Me DragonCon
Once more I somehow have been selected to add value to 80,000 damp Batgirls in the moist heart of Atlanta, Georgia -- that's right, it's DragonCon time again! This year the Gaming Track is full up with people celebrating Dungeons & Dragons' 50th Anniversary without me (much one imagines to the consternation of at least some of the more dice- ( Read more... ) -
My Swan-Like NecronomiCon Schedule (Hissing, Will Break Your Arm)
Once more I ascend to the Parnassian heights of Providence in the natal month of my problematic muse, H.P. Lovecraft, to celebrate him and the weird tradition he embodied, defended, perfected, and yelled at. To wit, I am once more manifesting at NecronomiCon Providence, over the weekend of August 15-18. I will specifically be adorning the Atomic ( Read more... ) -
Generally Conventional Schedule 2024
Unlike some years, this year's GenCon schedule remains free of bumps, jogs, and other oddities -- it's practically a cut-and-paste of my default GenCon schedule for the last decade. This, I maintain, is a good thing. You can also find me during show hours at the Pelgrane Press booth (#529) or in a bar. Which bar?? The good one, meaning the one I am ( Read more... ) -

DragonCon 2023 Schedule
The good people of DragonCon having forgiven me for my dalliance with WorldCon last year, I once more return to the Harley-Quinn-choked streets and hotel lobbies of Atlanta for the show that asks "what if we literally had something for anyone who has ever known who Harley Quinn is" and delivers me as part of that complete breakfast. As always, the ( Read more... ) -

CIFF On The Hand May Be Quite Continental
The Chicago International Film Festival returns to mostly in-person screenings, though with a weaker lineup than normal. I might have seen three more movies if I didn't have a quick trip to GameHoleCon in Madison blotting out the Thursday and Friday screenings, and I'm putting off Corsage (Marie Kreutzer), Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh), ( Read more... ) -
A Whole New Worldcon
As is my ineffable habit whenever the World Science Fiction Convention immanentizes in the World's Greatest City, I am once more attending Chicago Worldcon this year. And as so often transpires, I'm on a slight dusting of panels and events therein, and as always transpires I know nothing about any plans to 'stream or 'cast or otherwise emblazon ( Read more... ) -
Neck and NecronomiCon
Once more the gates open and the stars come right for the one and only NecronomiCon PVD in Lovecraft's city on Lovecraft's birthday! Once more I have no conception of the dark questions of streaming or podding or any other Tillinghastliness! And once more I have digg'd and pored myself into the festivities, to wit:
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 17
6:00pm to ( Read more... ) -
Is This GenCon? Or Are We Dancer?
Once more GenCon returns to its rightful time slot and its rightful "actually in physical space" quantum state, so once more I return to GenCon! My schedule remains somewhat fluid at this juncture, as I suppose do many folks', but here's what I know as of (checks notes) three days before I leave for Indianapolis. "Fluid" may be an understatement.
