seanan_mcguireBayCon 2008 is just around the corner! Are you wondering where I'm going to be? Well, wonder no more, because I've got what can only be termed 'the inside scoop'. Which is really a good thing, since otherwise, I'd be wandering merrily into a major convention with no living clue what I was supposed to be doing.
Saturday at 11:30 AM, you can catch me on the Sex, Lies and Publishing panel. I'm not one hundred percent certain what we're going to be talking about, although I expect it to include a) sex, b) lies, and c) publishing. I just sold a trilogy, I've had sex, and I once told my mother that the frog was put in our bathtub by magical angels from the moon, so hey, I've got something to say about all three elements of the panel! Failing that, there's always zombies. Show up to show your support on my first real 'post selling those Toby books to DAW' panel as a genuine to-be-published genre author.
Also Saturday, at 1:00 PM, I'll be appearing on the Iron Poet I panel, with Kevin Andrew Murphy (and other people, but that's who I can say for sure is always there). I won't be writing poetry, but will, instead, be discussing it, and helping other people write it. For the win! It's a really fun, interactive panel event, and the poetry that our participants write on Saturday will be presented and judged on Sunday at 2:30 PM, when we reconvene for Iron Poet II. This panel has a low chance of zombies, but a high chance of recitations of 'The Tragedy of Lillian Kane, Princess of Neptune'.
Saturday at 4:00 PM it's time for the annual excitement of Evolution of Dr. Who, where we all get together to talk about what everybody's favorite Time Lord has been doing with himself. Past debates have included 'true love or puppy love?', 'Romana or the Rani?', and -- my personal favorite -- 'is Paul McGann canon or not?' (since answered absolutely by 'Family of Blood'). Since we're in the middle of a series, we're about to go into Tennant's year off, and we've just changed executive producers, there's going to be a lot to talk about. And, if all else fails, there's always insulting the special effects to get a good brawl going. Be there!
Of course, for a lot of folks, it's all about the music. That's why you should join me Sunday at 10:00 PM for my BayCon 2009 concert! With Paul Kwinn and Tony Fabris trading off guitar duty, Michelle Dockrey and Maya Bohnhoff on backing vocals, and Beckett Gladney on harmonica, this is promising to be one of the most awesome concerts to date. I'm not willing to post the full set list, but I will tell you that you could hear some of the songs from the upcoming album, as well as at least one pendant-prompt song, one Firefly song, and several songs made of so much pure awesome that they make my heart hurt. Join us! You won't be sorry.
Eric Gerds will have copies of both Pretty Little Dead Girl and Stars Fall Home available throughout the weekend; they will also be available directly from me, if he runs out or the dealer's room is closed. Remember, they make great gifts! Thirteen, by Vixy and Tony, will also be available either from Eric or direct from the source; the album is fabulously well-worth it (and I don't just say that because I got to perform on the title track).
See you this weekend!
