Particularly the "Chiropractor, Please!" one. Ah, well.

(The fanfic one on Friday at noon.)

If we're not swamped in the dealer room, I will also be trying to attend the Chiropractor panel on Saturday and the grammar-and-usage panel on Monday.

Oh.

I later found out and long wanted to kick myself in the butt for missing that. It was about the then-upcoming movie "The Right Stuff". If I remember correctly, its panelists included Gordo Cooper, Chuck Yeager, Scott Glenn and Dennis Quaid.

Enjoy yourselves a little extra for me, please.

No idea why....

But I'll be at the con, and hanging out both with Karen at the dances and at the SF Outreach Program table handing out books. I'm bringing along a few cool show-and-tell items (like an original Fancyclopedia, a first of The Enchanted Duplicator, and more). Hope to see various people there!

I don't recall this being a common feature of recent Worldcons, but maybe I just haven't been paying attention.

Tom (#7), I have reason to believe you may be hearing from this year's Worldcon about adding you at the last minute to a particular panel -- indeed, you may have heard from them already by now.

I'm volunteering at Reg and elsewhere, but I hope to make some of this list, if I don't melt first.

Turns out they had a typo in my e-address, and thought I hadn't responded. And there are a couple of other panels they're putting me on.

Next year in Croydon!

I try to do panel reports and put them up on LJ, but I make no promises, my time is not as free as once it was!

K and I could not manage to attend. Probably next year.

Might see some of you in Boston on Valentine's Day:

After his death, NESFA decided to honor him by establishing the Hal Clement Science Speaker as a memorial. Each year we bring someone who shares his wide interest in science combined with a love of science fiction to speak at Boskone.

Lots of interesting books there being given away, including some of the NESFA Press Chad Oliver hardcovers. And I'll have some oddities with me on various days, so come on by and chat -- I'll specifically plan to be there around noon each day, until one definitely and often later, since my program items are all at later times in the day.
