Philcon this weekend
This weekend, for the first time in several years, I'll be at Philcon. And this weekend, for the first time in a long time, Philcon won't be in Philadelphia (they've moved the convention across the river to Cherry Hill, New Jersey).

The entire schedule, in various formats, is available on this page. Here is my own schedule, so if you'll be at Philcon and want to meet up with me, these are the best times/places to try (well, other than hanging out in the dealers' room, or parties at night, or…):

Friday at 8PM: "The Economics of Empire" in Crystal Ballroom Two, with Walter Hunt, Charles E. Gannon, and Tom Purdom.

Friday at 10PM: "The SF Quiz Show" (their take on Jeopardy!) in Crystal Ballroom Three, with Oz Fontecchio, Hildy Silverman, Roman Ranieri, Stephen C. Fisher, and Chris Logan Edwards.

Saturday at 11AM: "Science Fiction Had a Lot More Freedom in 'The Good Old Days'" in Plaza II, with Diane Weinstein, Alexis Gilliland, Andrew Wheeler, and Gardner Dozois.

Saturday at 12N: "Does Science Fiction Inspire Invention?" in Plaza II, with John Ashmead, Mitchell Gordon, Jack McDevitt, and Jay Wile.

Saturday at 5PM: "Topicality in Science Fiction" in Plaza V, with Judith Moffett, James L. Cambias, Ellen Asher, and Larry Hodges.

Sunday at 11AM: "When Did Heinlein Go Bad?" in Plaza VII, with Michael F. Flynn, Tom Purdom, Judith Moffett, and Kimberly Ann Kindya.

Should be a busy weekend for me. Hope to see some of you there. Incidentally, this also looks to be the first weekend of four in a row when I won't be home: busy busy busy. Keep watching this space for upcoming announcements.
