This weekend I’ll be attending LonCon3 (World Con) in London, England. My first World Con, I am very excited to be on a few of the programme items, namely:
- The Good, the Bad and the Missing (Friday, noon – 1:30): A discussion of diversity in comics with Megan Waples, Jenni Hill, Michael R Underwood, Kurt Erichsen, Dev Agarwal, and me.
- Artist in Residence (Friday, 1:30 – 3:00): I’ll be outside the art show drawing, and will be happy to do custom sketches for a small fee.
- Meet the Artists (Saturday, noon – 1:30): I’ll be at the art show hanging around my panel. If you’d like to meet/chat about art, this is a great time to come find me!
- Furry Fandom: Not what you think (Saturday, 6:00 – 7:00): Introduction to the furry fandom. I will be doing a fursuit demonstration with Tachyon.
- Diana Wynne Jones Fan Meet and Greet (Sunday, 6:00 – 8:00): Meet and greet for fans of Diana Wynne Jones. There will be casual readings, a Witchie Dance circle, book giveaway, and cake… if I can wrangle it. More details on that later, or follow my twitter‘s #LonConDWJfans tag.
- As an addendum to the DWJ panel, Gili Bar-Hillel suggested we (DWJ fans) might want to have a group photo taken with her bench (in the Exhibit Hall). This is tentatively scheduled for Saturday at 5. I’ll be tweeting out about it more as we make more solid plans, so again, follow my twitter (it is all pretty pictures of Scotland, presently, but my access to internet is sporadic so hopefully I won’t bore you too much).
Feel free to share this banner around if you’d like to promote the event, and if you do Facebook, Gili has been kind enough to create and event page for it!
I also intend to be present for the Gala Art Show Opening on Thursday Night, the Chesley Awards Ceremony/Reception, and of course the Hugos themselves. And of course you can find me bumbling around the con in general Thursday – Sunday (Monday I might not be around so much).
Very much looking forward to seeing you there!
