Anticipation
Jul. 19th, 2009 06:56 pmA most aptly-named convention.
And while my head is still mostly focused on the San Diego Comic-Con (for which I fly out on Wednesday), I now have the complete and correct-for-now schedule of my program for WorldCon.
As a preamble, I remember the times I've been involved with WorldCon programming being the exciting but frustrating job of stuffing 10 pounds of sugar in a five pound bag, as hordes of professionals and luminaries fought to get their time in the limelight. I put my name and resume in the hat mostly because I do like doing panels, and I wasn't working in the Dealers Room this year. I expected to be passed over, or at most land up on one of the anime panels, since they may not have as many people volunteering for that.
( my schedule )
Yow. Five panels, three where I'm the moderator. Guess I better cram a little preparation into the next couple of weeks.
