rmHey 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.
