One month to DUCKON! Are you ready?!

[seanan_mcguire]

It's one month to DucKon (http://www.duckon.org/)! The biggest hootenanny of the summer, packing a whole lot of hoot and a whole lot of nanny into one short weekend in Naperville, Illinois. (Urge to parody "One Short Day In the Emerald City" rising...) You can view an early draft of my schedule on my appearances page; I'll also be posting it here when we're a little bit closer to the convention, but you can at least start planning your exciting adventures now. Remember, online registration closes this Friday at midnight Central, so if you've been waffling, now's the time to square up your affairs and put your irons in the fire.

...I promise that's the last waffle pun I will attempt to make this year.

This convention is gonna be a blast. Not only do you get to see me going head-to-head with Jim Butcher (potentially world-ending), not only do you get to see me geeking out over pandemics and the X-Men—basically my drugs of choice—but you get to see me live and in concert with Vixy and Tony, Amy McNally, and Possible Special Guests. And there will be a reading. And there will be galleys, although the exact distribution mechanism has yet to be determined (pretty sure Kate won't let me play Pee-Wee's Playhouse and choose a second word...but she might let me play Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show, and demand that you spin the Wheel of Fun).

Meet me! Meet my agent! Meet my musical dream team! Meet my graphic designer! And watch me baffle my handlers with my constant demands for more caffeine! Fun for the whole family.

If you can't make it to DucKon, I will be at BayCon next weekend in San Jose. Details to come when I've got them.

Among a bunch of really neat things on your DucKon schedule this, Themed filk with corpses in, is really neat.

I appreciate that one, yeah.

And watch me baffle my handlers with my constant demands for more caffeine!

You think you're going to out-caffeine a concom? Or even the programming chair? How about putting an ARC on the line to back that challenge up?

Darlin', you have clearly never seen me going through my supply of DDP. Trust me; it's epic.

I shall attempt to limit my shameless fangirling but i may not be successful as I have never shamelessley fangirled before and thus lack practice.

Just be gentle when you hit me.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I won't hit. I may blink a lot, as I baffle easily when under-caffeinated! But I won't hit.

Even in an ordinary year, DucKon is an extraordinary con. Even though it's a relatively small con (under 1000 usually) there is more stuff I want to do going on at any given time than any other con I attend.

With Seanan as a guest, it's guaranteed to be an extraordinary year. I'm not really figuring on living through it, but it'll be well worth it if I don't.

Hooray for DucKon!

Dang it all

That's the same weekend as St. Louis Pagan Picnic. Guess where I am scheduled to be giving a workshop and doing book signings?

whimper...

Awwwwww, lame.

Congratulations for getting the plague session you wanted! And I love that you and Jim Butcher will be on a panel together (though with three people, one of them named Jodi, and a title of Urban Fantasy, is this going to be another takeoff on Urban Tapesty, like the Suburban Travesty we had at FilKONtario?).

See you at DucKon!

I doubt that we'll be a takeoff, but I hope we'll be as entertaining!
