Windycon Schedule
I’ll be Guest of Honor at Windycon this weekend, which is pretty dang exciting. Windycon is one of the earliest conventions I ever attended. It’s where I met my first editor, where I met my agent, and where the Magic ex Libris series was born. (In the green room, to be specific.) I’ve also started taking the family along to this one, which is a lot of fun.
My schedule for the weekend is:
Friday
- 7 pm: Opening Ceremonies
- 9 pm, Room 1602: ISFiC Book Release Party – The Goblin Master’s Grimoire
Saturday
- 10 am, Ballroom A: Reading (As I don’t seem to have an autographing session, if you’ve got anything you’d like me to sign, I’ll make sure to leave some time after my reading.)
- 11 am, Lilac D: Trilogy Squared
- 1 pm, Lilac A: Superheroes of the 21st Century
- 2 pm, Lilac A: An Author’s Best Friend
- 7 pm, Lilac A&C: Harassment
- 8 pm, Masquerade (Yes, I have a costume, and plan on entering the masquerade. This will be my first time. Be gentle!)
Sunday
- 1 pm, Ballroom C: My Body Doesn’t Bend That Way
- 2 pm, Ballroom C: Closing Ceremonies
It should be a fun (if busy) weekend.
So, anyone else going to be there?

I wish I could. Windycon was my first con (in 1994), and still have at least as many fannish friends in that part of the country as I have in California where I now live.
But I just don’t have the vacation or travel budget – and would have to bring the whole family which adds to both.
On the other hand, it could be warmer this weekend in San Diego. And, if I hadn’t moved, I’d probably be tied up most of Saturday at an unrelated Karate tournament (an annual conflict the last few years we lived in the Chicago area).
I’ll just have to find a way to get you out to San Diego sometime.

Looks like your Saturday is packed, so stop by Cypress A on Friday when you get a chance (we’re there after 4) for 3 mins to go over Masquerade stuff. Just need to know what you want for lights/music/intro/etc and I’ll make it happen.

I actually found out about Windycon because it was on your “Appearances” page, and now I’m really looking forward to it!
And thank you in advance for setting aside some time for autographs. 🙂

Wendy – I’m hoping to make it to the Masquerade Meeting on Saturday at 4, depending on how everything’s going. And thanks!

“I’ll just have to find a way to get you out to San Diego sometime.”
I like this plan!

Yay!
And you’re welcome. I’m told we may also bundle an autographing session into the book launch party on Friday night, if you wanted to stop by 🙂

Woo! Although anytime you’re available is fine.

If you have some time, stop by the Detcon1 party (in, I believe, room 1506) and the Cincinnati Fantasy Group/Midwestcon party, both on Friday Night.

Thanks, Joel! Given that the book launch party is 9-11 that night, which is midnight Michigan time, I’m doubtful I’ll be up for anything else by the time I stagger out of there.
