Yep. Tor Books and Tor.com have arranged an Author Drinkup at Geek Bar Chicago in conjunction with the Nebula Award Weekend.
You know you want to come hang out, talk fiction, and drink beer, or cocktails, or soft drinks, or whatever you prefer. With whom? Me, John Joseph Adams, Greg Bear, Tobias Buckell, Ellen Datlow, Steven Gould, Daryl Gregory, Nancy Kress, Cixin Liu, Ken Liu, Usman Malik, Laura Mixon, Larry Niven, Mary Rickert, Lawrence Schoen, Rachel Swirsky, and Fran Wilde. Pretty shiny lineup, eh?
So… I’ll see you on Saturday from 2 – 5. Right?
Geek Bar Beta is at 1941 W North Avenue in Chicago’s wonderful Wicker Park neighborhood. That’s about 15 minutes from the Palmer House Hilton by train…
Of course right!
Unfortunately, while I would like to attend, I am scheduled to be on a very important panel at the Palmer House at the same time: “Disability and Narrative.” I have worked hard to change the way persons with disability are written about in, and how they access speculative fiction.
I hope you all have a wonderful party.
