I now have only three days to prepare for A-Kon: I hop the train Thursday just before noon, and arrive in Dallas mid-late afternoon.\u00a0\u00a0 Meanwhile I have an eye doctor appointment on Tuesday,\u00a0 gym on Monday and maybe also Wednesday (since my usual second day is Thursday) ,\u00a0 and choir practice Wednesday.\u00a0\u00a0 Thanks to the computer stuff, I haven’t done the pre-convention-season shopping I was planning to do…oh, well.<\/p>\n
I’m on several panels–if you’re going to be at A-Kon, you can find me (listed in schedule) there and in Artists Alley at table A-15, same row as Jack Campbell, Esther Friesner, Lee Martindale, Robin Wayne Bailey.\u00a0 My copies of\u00a0 the US Crow<\/em>n haven’t come, but I will have some of the UK Crown<\/em> to show off, one of which will be in the charity auction: if you get it, bring it by for signing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I also have a lot of paperwork stuff to do in those three days…I’m behind and feeling very White Rabbitish.\u00a0 When I get back from A-Kon I have an appointment with a different doctor.<\/p>\n All of which means I\u00a0 probably will not get to all comments, and there will be a blank while I’m at A-Kon (previous experience–there’s not time to play online, and with many, many thousands of avid anime fans in the hotel, the wifi availability is…inconsistent.\u00a0 Arriving at A-Kon clean, decently dressed (for an anime con!!) and rested enough to be coherent is important.\u00a0\u00a0 I should get home Monday evening, but I’ll be wiped out (experience says) with a lot of laundry to do.\u00a0 So my attention will be sparse for a week or more.<\/p>\n I do plan to check in here once or twice a day until I leave, just to be sure there’s no pool or blood, or green ichor, or zombie eruption.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I now have only three days to prepare for A-Kon: I hop the train Thursday just before noon, and arrive in Dallas mid-late afternoon.\u00a0\u00a0 Meanwhile I have an eye doctor appointment on Tuesday,\u00a0 gym on Monday and maybe also Wednesday (since my usual second day is Thursday) ,\u00a0 and choir practice Wednesday.\u00a0\u00a0 Thanks to the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86,53,5],"tags":[112,31,107],"class_list":["post-2256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-conventions","category-life-beyond-writing","category-the-writing-life","tag-life-beyond-writing","tag-the-book-business","tag-the-writing-life"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2256"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2256"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2257,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2256\/revisions\/2257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
