Busy Baycon Will be Busy
19/5/11 07:53Well, I've always said I like to be busy at a convention, and it appears they took me at my word:
Saturday, May 28
10:00 AM, Lafayette Book View Café
Book View Café started as a cooperative to make the authors' out-of-print books from major houses available to a new generation of readers, but it's since expanded to original publishing. Book View Café members talk about the cooperative.
11:30 AM, Lafayette Themed Reading: Fantasy
Authors read from their fantasy works.
4:00 PM, Winchester $5, a Dead Fish, and a Time Machine
Do-it-yourself alternate history. What if you were given three items? Where would you go back to, what would you change, what trouble would you make? What memes would you (re)start?
Sunday, May 29
10:00 AM, Alameda Workshops: The Aspiring Writer's Toolkit
What kinds of workshops are there for writers? When might they help you? When might they not help you? Panelists discuss their workshop experiences and help you avoid some of the pitfalls.
1:00 PM, Alameda The Evolution of Female Characters
Women have evolved from Damsel in Distress, to the Hero or Villain
Monday, May 30
10:00 AM, Bayshore East and West Whither Textbooks in the Digital Age
With computers and iPads, and dynamic content making textbooks more interesting and much lighter, where are we headed? Can we lighten the load in student's backpacks?
11:30 AM, Stevens Creek The Single Book That Most Influenced Your Writing
Every writer has a style, developed and polished over time. Our panelists discuss the single book, or author, that most influenced their writing style.
Plus, it seems that Avocado and her cousin will be there for at least some of the con too. Yay, Baycon!
