alfreda89: (Books and lovers)

Repeating my schedule for ArmadilloCon 36.  I have a three hour final the night before, so I won't make any early events on Thursday.  But I'll definitely be there Friday night, and perhaps earlier.  Yes, I am moderating Elemental Magic and Sub-genres of Fantasy!

I probably have an autographing, too, but I don't know if I'll be bringing books or not. I'm out of town, and I will be doing a seminar in Austin this weekend. So I will be at the convention Friday, and Saturday night. I will come back Sunday night if people want to get together, but I don't plan to do the BBQ slug-fest.

Hope you can join us!

Well, I have made all my panels (but by the skin of my teeth -- there's always too much to do at conventions.) I think I kept order at my steampunk panel and let everyone talk without trampling on anyone. They were all very interesting writers, and the audience enjoyed it. Thank you to those who came to my reading -- all seemed to like where Allie was going and what she was up to.

Today I have to decide on what to wear (I know, you'd think I already knew that. I picked out two days' clothing. The third day? Not so much.) Then get over there for my autographing. Will probably take a few books with me. I have permission to socialize, since there's a charge for the wireless. But will take one Alfreda reference book in case I have a moment!

I have held expenses to one paperback, a Peri pie pan for a steal price, and two tee shirts that will actually fit me, as opposed to the sacks I am currently wearing. They are to be chosen today, and Scott will make them before the Dead Dog, ideally.

Very excited to find out that Ilona and Andrew Gordon have moved to Texas! Can't wait to share the names of some good restaurants with them.

See you there!
