Dragon*Con schedule, updated and complete

[rm]

Hey everyone! Below is my official schedule for Dragon*Con. While all of these panels have made it into the official schedule, not all of them have my name attached, but this my real, official, confirmed by all concerned schedule.

As you can see, I will be super, super busy. If you want to talk with me after a panel, please be aware that if I have panel in the next immediate time slot, we need to have walking and talking, as I am often bouncing back and forth between hotels in a small time window during peak hours (this is particularly true on Friday and Saturday nights).

If you are just looking for me socially, your best bet is generally the Marriott bar.

Goddamnit, I want to go to this! Angry Jacobi expresses my sentiments at not being able to go quite well.

\o/ These sound very awesome! But goodness, that's a lot of speaking in one weekend - best of luck!

Thanks! I'm really only tense about one of them. And only need to do work for a few of them. Most of them I've already got my ideas for, so it shouldn't be too bad.

I really, really, thrive on public speaking on panels. Unfortunately, because I'm an introvert, I'll be really tired and flipped out when I get back to NYC.

I'll get there too late for the panels I'd most like to catch you in, but looking forward to some of the others. Hope you have fun!

really sad Beyond Binaries 101 is against alternative sexualities.... *sigh*

I'm also on the Merlin panel. I'm looking forward to it. The panel about Luna caught my attention as well, as it sounds interesting.

Yay! Hi! Yay! some more. I am excited about the Freaks and Geeks panel.

I have to confess I'm the "I keep watching this show, but I don't actually like it, but I really want to" person on the Merlin panel.
