This will be my first Dragon*Con and I’m very much looking forward to it. Since it is a costume friendly con, I’m bringing the full Regency wardrobe for evening wear. I’ll also have the sandalwood handfans for folks who would like them. But where can you get one? Just find me at any one of these exciting activities.

Hi Mary!
Are you sure the BU reading is 2.5 hours? I thought there was another panel in the room at 1 pm. (I’d be happier with 2.5 hours, because we’d have more time.)
-fellow Broad reading Saturday morning
You know, I’m not sure. That’s the length they gave me with my schedule so I’m hoping it’s correct. I’m looking forward to the reading.
I hope you get a chance to check out the Atlanta Radio Theater, 24 years old and going strong. Shows on Friday and Sunday.
Friday at 7pm in Regency VI-VII.
The House Across the Way by Kelley S. Ceccato and The Proper Thing To Do by William Alan Ritch and Brad Linaweaver.
Sun Sep 5 7:00pm
“At the Mountains of Madness” by H. P. Lovecraft and “Time and Time Again” by H. Beam Piper.
Thanks for pointing that out. I likely would have missed it.
Cool, didn’t realize until now that you’d be at D*C! We met briefly at the Shades of Milk & Honey launch party at NASFIC (I was the fellow Enloe alum); hopefully I’ll get a chance to say Hi at D*C as well. Actually, I’d love to get the chance to pick your brain for a few minutes about living and writing in Portland, as I may be leaving Raleigh and moving up to the Pacific NW (either Seattle or Portland) in a couple of months.
Here’s hoping for a great D*C this year. =)
Oh, fantastic! It would be great to run into again in a situation where my brain was not completely distracted.
Here’s a question: How do you decide what cons to go to? I’m interested in (a) the published author prospective (obviously anywhere to promote and sign your work is good, but these traveling can add up, so how do you choose?), and (b) what things should an unpublished author look for?
Bear with me, I’m going to answer this in a blog post.
Oh, I think I’ll be able to make your Friday reading!
Hope things smooth out for you Mary and I hope you have a great show at DCon! I’ll be working in the Filk track but hope to catch part of your schedule.
It will be good to see you!
