Well, I mean besides wandering the streets of Madison, taking in excellent readings and in the Governor’s Club Lounge knocking them back. Feels like going home. Here’s my convention schedule:
The Death of the Panel Sunday, 2:30-3:45 p.m. in Senate B – Gwenda Bond has declared that the Panel is Dead (you know, like the Novel and Science Fiction). Is it? And if so should we revive it? And how would we go about reviving this arcane art form without it Dying again? Scott Westerfeld, Justine Larbalestier, Paul Kincaid, M: Gwenda Bond, Christopher Barzak, Lenny Bailes (ed note: I know you may have seen elsewhere that JL is the moderator, but she has turned those duties over to me — mwahaha!)
Four Seductions Monday, 10:00-11:15 a.m. in Conference Room 2 – Karen Meisner, Lauren McLaughlin, Gwenda Bond, and Claire Light read from their work.
We’ll probably stumble into the hotel sometime around 10 or 11ish Thursday night, so we may not actually be around until Friday. It all depends on what time we leave and how long the drive takes.
Word of advice: take 39 around Chi-town, or anything else that keeps you off the Dan Ryan. They’re doing major construction there and I would hate for you to be stuck in that mess.
Dave we actually usually swing wide of Chicago. We take a left at Indy, then a right at Bloomington/Normal. I thought that was like US 51 or something, but maybe it’s I-39. Is that what you’re talking about?
wiscon!
Can’t wait to see you both!
Christopher: yeah, that’ll work. 51 runs into 39, which runs pretty much all the way to Madison. I suspected you had an alternate route, since you’ve made the trip often enough, but if I hadn’t said something I would have worried.
Be seeing you both soon! Looking forward to it!
Yay! I’ll see you there! (We’re flying in Thursday.)
Yay! So looking forward to seeing you guys and meeting you, Darice!
