It’s another convention weekend! This time, the traveling SFScope/Fantastic Books road show is headed to metro Philadelphia, for the 75th anniversary Philcon. The actual location is the Crowne Plaze Hotel in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, but it’s like five miles from Philadelphia, so it’s all one and the same.
As usual, I’ll be standing behind the FB table in the dealers’ room when I’m not on panels, so come see me there to say hi (and spell me for a moment to stretch my legs or get a drink).
My programming schedule is:
Friday at 10PM in Crystal Ballroom Two: “The SF Quiz Show” with Oz Fontecchio, Hildy Silverman, Todd Dashoff, Chris Logan Edwards, and Robert C Roman. This will be my third year in a row on the “Show”. Come razz me on!
Saturday at 5PM in Crystal Ballroom Two: “Meet the Editors Panel” with Hildy Silverman, Marvin Kaye, Gordon Linzner, and Danielle Ackley-McPhail.
Sunday at 1PM in Plaza II: “Think Like a Futurian” by Mitchell Gordon, Karl Kofoed, and John Monahan.
As I said, this is the 75th time they’re having Philcon, so I’m expecting a really good time. And the guests of honor include Cory Doctorow and Boris Vallejo. How could you go wrong?
Hope to see some of you there!
