Preliminary Balticon schedule

[pbray]

I have my preliminary Balticon schedule. I keep forgetting how close it is, since Memorial Day weekend is early this year, but it's only 9 days away (yikes!)

Friday 8PM -- Opening Reception (assuming I don't run into too many traffic jams)

Saturday 11AM -- Autograph table (I can haz lizards! U can 2!)

Saturday 3PM -- Chat with the Crooks (ask us anything, we may even answer)

Saturday 4PM -- Real Women Warriors: Tell us about characters that look, sound and feel realistic - and real women who are warriors

Monday 11AM -- Readers: You've Read the First Novel. What determines whether you want to read more by this author?

The Monday panel is a great topic, but the time is problematic given how many people will be ready to hit the road, so we'll see how it goes. Looking forward to the usual fun time at Balticon, plus traveling companion jpsorrow can't wait to get back to his favorite Italian restaurant (Carrabba's, at the mall just down the road).

Sounds like a plan. I know jpsorrow is booked Friday and Saturday nights, so we were thinking of a Sunday Indy run. Still waiting for a grid to confirm what's happening.

So a guest has to wait for a final grid.... Crazy.

Well there was the year that they didn't appoint moderators and all the panelists had to go on was panel titles (no descriptions were printed in the pocket program.) That led to some interesting results.

Was that before or after you won the Compton Crook Award?

After. That said, I go to Balticon for the people, and to catch up with friends. Some years they're more organized than others, but we'll just go with the flow, and if there's downtime, I'm sure we'll all have fun hanging out in the bar instead.

Yeah I'm not going for content, but for networking with all the other podcasters that are showing up there.

I'm picturing you in a "Revenge of the Podcasters" t-shirt.

Hmm... that idea has merit. Sadly the timeframe for acquiring such accoutrements far exceeds that for Balticon departure.
