Technicon starts a week from tomorrow, and they’ve posted an early version of the schedule. I do realize that con schedules are subject to complete revision until late Sunday afternoon, but I couldn’t help noticing a few things.<\/p>\n

The first thing is that my sweetie and I are involved in one of the Live-Action Role Playing games, and that at least one (possibly both) of the games starts Friday night at 8:00. So we may miss meiran<\/a>‘s Women in SF panel \ud83d\ude41 I’ve enjoyed representing the Liberated Male there in the past, and I’d be sorry to miss this one.<\/p>\n

Another scheduled LARP event (if it’s for the one I’m in) may cause me to miss the first half of the Amateur Film panel, which would be a shame. We don’t have a submission this year like we were going to, but it’s fun to see what others bring and comment on it.<\/p>\n

(2 years ago: “Are you sure you want me as a panelist? I haven’t actually been involved in anything since Space Rogues<\/i> – all I can talk about is the several projects I hope to start work on sometime soon.”<\/p>\n

“Amateur shmamateur<\/i>, that makes you a Hollywood professional!”)<\/p>\n

The person I will be playing in the LARP is a major Russian political figure, I haven’t decided whether my accent should be “Boris Badenov” or Connery’s “Alexsandr Ramius” (i.e. Moscow by way of Scotland).<\/p>\n

This year’s midnight discussions include the SW Virginia Spiritual Alliance (a pagan group), Polyamory 101, and a BDSM demonstration \/ panel. Who says science fiction fans never do anything but watch their Trek videos?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
