Albacon

[pbray]

Albacon has posted their preliminary schedule, so here's where I'll be this coming weekend:

Friday, 5PM, That Little Shop in Schenectady: where writers get their ideas

Saturday, 10AM, Science Fiction Films We Love

Saturday, 2PM, Nontraditional fantasy settings

Sunday, 10AM, Do you Outline or not?

Oddly enough, Joshua Palmatier and I aren't on any panels together, perhaps a punishment for past sins (but the brains were so tasty! honest!)

Anyway, if you're there, be sure to stop by and say "Hi!"

I'll be there.

Well, this way you can be in the audience and heckle each other. Or act as shills, depending.

Great, looking forward to seeing you there!

I may come in just for the day on Saturday, if I do I'll be sure to find you, and buy you a drink. Or two :-)

[pbray.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome!

Ah, this reminds me I should post my dinner plans panel schedule for Albacon as well.

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, bwains!

[melissajm.livejournal.com]

We get to share a panel! Woohoo!

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Should be a great way to start the con.

I am on a panel with the roudoubtable Mr. Palmatier, but not with you.

I am, however, on a Zombie panel, which I thought would get the three of us together, but did not. It cannot be for your sins, as I was just as happy chomping on the audience's brains as you were.

Oops! Redoubtable. No wonder my computer was sticking red lines under it. I generally ignore that, given that I am so often typing things like, "Would a Patronus Charm protect you from Daleks?"
Answer: "Your Patronus will be exterminated!"

Well you will just have to keep an eye on him...watch out for any sudden moves.

[jjschwabach.livejournal.com]

My Inner Slayer will protect me. That and my tooth-armor.

I should go post my Albacon schedule.
(wanders off to do so.)

Have a lovely time. I wish it was our 'local' (as in, on the same island) Albacon, though. (There was a series of that name in Scotland.)

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Hanging out with you at a local would be lovely indeed.

We will manage it one day, I swear.

Well actually this weekend Josh and I are in a threesome with scbutler.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Patricia = tasty human brains. Or find me in the bar, with beer.

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmm

[tryslora]

We'll see you there! And you shall simply have to find other brains to nosh on? I will have the camera for evidence gathering, of course. *grins*

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

I've never been in Schenectady. Obviously, that's my problem selling a book!

Wish Albacon was closer. Would like to know results of outline panel; I'm betting it will be 50/50.

[pbray.livejournal.com]

I'm betting it will be 50/50 as well, and we'll stare at each other with the mutual confusion and suspicion that is more often characteristic of the Coke vs Pepsi debate. :-)

[karen-w-newton.livejournal.com]

Now see, with Coke vs. Pepsi, I have to confess I can't tell the difference! Good simile, though. Or do I mean metaphor?

[pbray.livejournal.com]

I'd call it an analogy, since I'm a CompSci major at heart.

[jennifer-dunne.livejournal.com]

Don't forget the followon question: If you outline, does the book you produce bear any resemblance whatsoever to the outline?

(We can't ALL envision the events of book 3 when setting out to write book 1 of a trilogy, you know...)

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Good point! There's nothing saying that you have to follow the outline, or even that the outline is at all helpful when you get to the actual writing part.
