Program participants have been asked to let as many other people as possible know that there won’t be the usual emails to members of the convention as to their convention schedules. Please go to World Fantasy Convention tentative schedule. Pass the word.

Friday
I’m sort of edgy and irritable, so it’s good that everyone’s out of the house. Maybe I need something cathartic. Hmm. It’s less than 24hrs till take off and I’ve been unable to do the online check-in with Qantas. This sort of thing just erks the devil out of me, and is part of the reason I’m on edge. It’s a system that should work and usually does. When it doesn’t – when systems like that don’t – they really bother me.
I am, however, all packed. I could leave in 30 minutes if I had to (which I happily don’t). I’ll have an early lunch with Marianne then spend some time with the family, before hopefully getting an early night. In the interim I’m piecing together some WFC social plans and getting into the swing of that. It should be a great time, though this is the first time I’ll be at a WFC without either the Aussie contingent or Charles. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes.
Now, I could tell you all of the people I cannot wait to see, but I’d leave someone out and that would be bad. I can’t wait to see everyone, especially if we’ve already made plans. It should be a lot of fun.
Hmmm. We need a new webcam and some other stuff. Back in a bit.
World Fantasy Schedule
As I’ve blogged already, I will be attending World Fantasy Convention in Columbus, Ohio over the Halloween weekend. My scheduling is light and I am available for social liaison for most of the weekend, however I will be on this panel:
Saturday 1 pm Panel A13: Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror 2010. Kathryn Cramer, Ellen
Datlow, Jonathan Strahan (m), Paula Guran, Gardner Dozois
There is a general AUTOGRAPH RECEPTION at Friday: 8-11:30PM in the Regency Ballroom. Although I’ve been to many World Fantasy Conventions, I’ve never actually gone to one of these. However, right now I have no dinner plans for Friday night. If I remain free, I shall be there too.
