Seanan's at BayCon!

Having been their Toastmistress (in 2007) and their Chairman (in 2003), I'm really dead thrilled to be attending BayCon 2009 in San Jose, California as a published author (May 22nd-25th). Think of it as sort of like showing up for your high school reunion after conquering Madagascar. I'M THE LEMUR QUEEN, BITCHES. Er, ahem. Or something like that, anyway. Besides, my beloved [livejournal.com profile] jennifer_brozek is this year's Toastmistress, which should be awesome. (Jenn is editor of Grants Pass, aka, "what if we threw a plague and EVERYBODY came?", and owns three of the craziest cats I've ever met.)

I'm reasonably lightly-booked this year, which is a nice change, and my scheduled panels so far include...

SATURDAY.

11:30 AM: Zombies Are Coming!

SUNDAY.

11:30 AM: Iron Poet.
1:00 PM: What's Your Post-Apocalypse Plan?

MONDAY.

1:00 PM: Writing For the Long Run

As always, I'm assuming that there may be some last-minute additions and subtractions to this slate, but that should give you a reasonably good idea of where I can be found. I won't be giving a concert this year, sadly, as there just wasn't time to get together with any of my assorted guitarists and rehearse, but I will have copies of all three CDs, both in the dealer's hall and on my person.

I'll be bringing a few precious copies of the Rosemary and Rue ARC with me to the convention for the adventurous to wheedle out of me (clues on how to do your wheedling are yet to come). Hope to see you there!

PS: Remember to vote your favorite poem in the ARC giveaway!

You'll need to bring your army of Fanorona-playing Lemurs to the con, of course. Every writer of note needs an entourage after all.

But of course!

Sounds like great fun!

Also, I'M THE LEMUR QUEEN, BITCHES.
That just made my day. Seriously.

Hooray for days being made!

My lemur army will spare you.

If you wear the crown, I want pictures.

It's a nice crown, too, if you're using the traditional crown of The Merina Kingdom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merina_Kingdom) of Madagascar. See:

OMG, did they finally send out the programming schedules? Where's mine?

They're posted online, and still evolving.

Yeah, I finally got the general email pointing me at it.

Will there be art card giveaways? she asked hopefully.

There will not. Overbooked cat is overbooked.

"I'M THE LEMUR QUEEN, BITCHES."

Have you heard Graham Leather's song about becoming president of the lemurs? You could ask him to play it at DucKon.

I have not, and totally should!
