First science fiction convention of the year is this weekend, in Boston. I hope you can join me at Arisia.

As usual, I’ll be spending a lot of time at the Fantastic Books table in the Dealers’ Room. We’ll be open from 5 to 9 pm on Friday, 10 am to 7 pm on Saturday and Sunday, and 10 am to 2:30 pm on Monday.

My programming schedule includes four panels:

Saturday at 7 pm in the Douglas room: “Isaac Asimov: Celebrating 100 Years” with Michael A. Burstein, Bhadrika Love, and Joseph Ross

Saturday at 8:30 pm in the Independence room: “Hope is not a business plan” with Griffin Ess, Kristin Janz, LB Lee, and A. Szabla

Sunday at 2:30 pm in the Stone room: “Writing in Brief” with Laurence Raphael Brothers, Timothy Goyette, and A.L. Kaplan

Sunday at 7 pm in the Marina 1 room: “Kink Your Fandom” with Max Impakt, Abigail Keenan, and Hannah Prum

I’ll be looking for someone to watch the table during my Sunday afternoon panel, if you’re available.

And a warning: Arisia is apparently trying to make the same mistake Mensa made at the Annual Gathering a few years ago: no printed schedules will be available. So do make note of these panels if you want to see me. Hope to see you there!
