This coming weekend is Albacon, a science fiction convention in Albany which will be another dose of cognitive dissonance. That’s because this year, Albacon will be at the same hotel I was in last weekend for RechaRGe.

At Albacon, I’ll be at my table in the dealers’ room, launching the new Judith K. Dial & Tom Easton anthology, Fantasy for the Throne: One-Sitting Reads (second in the series). I’ll also be on some panels:

Friday at 5pm: “2001 + 50″ with D. Cameron Calkins, Daniel M. Kimmel, J.A. Fludd, Warner, and Andre Lieven

Friday at 9pm: “Improvisational Storytelling” with Joshua Palmatier, Rick Ollerman, Ryk Spoor, and Barbara Chepaitis

Saturday at 1pm: “Democratization of Publishing” with Eugene Mirabelli, Tom Easton, Pamela Sargent, and Barbara Chepaitis

Saturday at 3pm: “Boys’ Adventure SF: Is It Dead and Gone?” With Debra Doyle, Wendy Delmater, John F. Holmes, Huston, and Jim Macdonald

Hope to see some of you there!
