Holy Panels, Batman! Can-Con 2014

22/9/2014

6 Comments

 
Good morning, readers!

At long last, the final schedule for this year's Can-Con, Canada's homegrown speculative fiction convention, has been released into the wild (read here: the internet).

I am very busy this convention!  Last year I sat on perhaps two panels and also did a reading.  This year, I am on five panels, as well as on a live recording of an episode of Nights at the Round Table for Silver Stag Entertainment and I'm also doing a reading for The Winter Wolf.

Holy panels, Batman!

I'm actually super stoked about it.  This will be my third year at Can-Con, and I have never not had a blast.  The panels are usually great, and everyone is almost always wonderful.  In case you are intensely curious or feel like stalking me, all of my appearances are listed below (and you can always come and visit me in the dealer's room, because it's the place where all the cool kids hang out):

Friday, 3 Oct, 2014

Panel: The Past, Present and Future of Fandom
Time: 8:00pm
Location: Room 2

Saturday, 4 Oct, 2014

Panel: The Economics of Self-Publishing
Time: 10:00am
Location: Room 3

Reading: Excerpt from The Winter Wolf
Time: 11:00am
Location: Room 5

Panel: Multimedia Fandom
Time: 6:00pm
Location: Room 1

Panel: Email Spam: Can a Narrative be Created? (Silliness may ensue)
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Room 3

Sunday, 5 Oct, 2014

Special Live Recording of Nights at the Round Table
Time: 12:00pm
Location: Room 5

Panel: Talking About Your Sonic Wrench and Other Tricks for Flushing Out the Nerds Who Are Hiding As Muggles
Time: 1:00pm
Location: Room 2

So there we have it.  I'm very busy and very pleased about it.  The problem, of course, is that I won't be at my table in the dealer's room very frequently.  This may prove to be a problem this year, as the Amazing Flatmate has an amazing job and will be working all of Sunday.  I shall have to figure something out.  Le sigh!

Of course, though I am partial to the panels I'm on, they aren't the only panels on offer.  Click HERE to see them all, and decide which you must attend.  There are so many great panels.  I wish I could get my hands on a time-turner and go to them all.

Le sigh.

By the by, do come to Can-Con.  It is almost always a spectacular time.  I was so intimidated my first year at Can-Con, but everyone proved so wonderful that now it is one of my favourite places to be.

Hope to see you there!

Ciao!

Oooh! I might! Though I'd hate for you to miss out on any panels.

Busy weekend for me. I plan to go to Geek Market for a couple of hours Sat, hopefully getting there for doors open. Then I am going to drop by CanCon, not sure if I will make any of your panels...

I was planning CanCon on Sunday as well but I've been badgered into volunteering at the last OESS Horse Show (ok, didn't take much badgering...). Thus, I will not be able to help you out there.

BTW, my offer to assist with transport and set up on Friday is still good. Drop me a PM on FB. I cannot guarantee my availability of Sunday to help with transport from CanCon though :(

Thanks Bill!

You do have a busy weekend!

I am actually good for Friday. The Amazing Flatmate isn't working that day. She is working Sunday, though, so that's going to be the day I need to arrange help for the tear down. I think I should be able to manage via public transport, though.

I have a wheeled toolbox with pull put handle I can lend if it would make your life easier?

That's alright. I have a suitcase that will work. Thanks, though.
