I (Van) will be hosting Marvel Jeopardy and assorted other panels (1-2, probably) at Dragon*Con on Labor Day Weekend, 2006.

Van,

If you make your way to the NYC area drop a line and I will rally the troops- most notably Derrick Ferguson and Tom Deja. We'll get together, have a few laughs, etc...

Hopefully too I can make my way to convention...

FWIW, just found out I'll be moderator of a panel in the "SF and Fantasy Literature" track at DragonCon-- "Politics in Science Fiction." (I suggested calling it "Poly Sci Fi," but we'll see.) John Ringo and other authors (TBD) will be on it.

I'm also lined up to play the role of Roger Zelazny in the "Dead Authors' Society" panel, where "dead SF authors" talk about their work.

Could be interesting. If you're at the con, I hope you'll stop by.

Here is my tentative schedule of appearances at DragonCon. This is in pencil only and is subject to change at the whim of the track directors! They have me pretty busy:

Saturday, Sept. 2

(10 a.m.: "Return of the Fan Boyz" panel-- had to decline this one, as my flight arrives too late for it. Stupid Sky Miles flight times... grrr.)

4 pm: "Politics in SF" (panelist) (Come and see me duel with right-wing military SF author John Ringo!)

7 pm: MARVEL vs DC JEOPARDY! (host) (2 hours)

10 pm: "Dead Authors Society" (panelist, playing the role of Roger Zelazny)

Sunday, Sept. 3

10 am: "Superheroes of Movies and TV" (panelist, alongside the RevolutionSF folks)

1 pm: "Marvel Update" (moderator) (They call this my "annual state of the Avengers speech") ;D

5:30 pm: "Religion in SF" (panelist)

7 pm: SF & Fantasy Jeopardy (host) (branching out with the comics Jeopardy to a different topic)

Monday, Sept. 4

Hope to see some of you there!
