Got FogCon?

If you're planning on hitting FogCon this weekend, maybe I'll see you there? My schedule:


How to Destroy Your City And Enjoy The Wreckage

The ruins of Southern California in Tim Powers' *Dinner at Deviant's
Palace*; the artistic mutations of San Francisco in Pat Murphy's *The City
Not Long After* -- what fun can we have with the wreckage of a city? What
is left over after the apocalypse, and what begins after it? Consider the
ruined city months, years, centuries later: What threats and promises will
the crumbling metropolis of the past offer to the survivors?

Friday, 9:30-10:45 P.M.

Madeleine Robins, Pat Murphy, Jeff VanderMeer, Gary Kloster, Elwin Cotman
(I am so looking forward to this one...)

I Have Written The Greatest Story Ever...

...No wait, it sucks. It's horrible. Oh, it's genius! Wait--AUUUGH! Sound
familiar? Many writers report that they love and hate their
writing--sometimes both on the same day. Get some tips on how to cope
with the emotional rollercoaster of the writing life.

Saturday, 1:30-2:45 P.M.

Daniel Marcus, Lisa Eckstein , Madeleine Robins, Jason Ridler

And (oh, ridiculousness of it all) I'm reading from 8-9:15 on Saturday night. Very likely from the new Sarah Tolerance. If I get a more targeted time within that frame I'll post it (I'm reading with two other people...)

And beyond that, as Joni Mitchell says: If you want me, I'll be in the bar.

Whump

Had an old colleague from Acclaim Comics over for dinner tonight. Stuffed shells, bread, salad, and lemon cake with blueberry sauce.

Sadly, I suspect I will eat again. But it was gooooood.

And all the dishes are done and put away.
