Gaylaxicon Schedule and such

[catherineldf]

So far, the weekend is not going at all as I had planned. I keep getting sidetracked by other things that need to get done and they keep snowballing. To wit, I just sat down to do one or two minor publicity/clean-uppy things that should have taken 30 minutes; an hour and a half later, they have completely mushroomed. It looks like our side lawn (in continuous need of de-mushrooming), which is not a good thing (I was recently asked where the fairies were going to dance after I de-mushroomed the lawn for the fourth time in as many weeks. I'll just leave this alone for the moment. :-).
Still to go - actually finishing the story that is due at the end of the month and that was requested way back at the beginning of August. It's started but then it took a turn in an unexpected direction. Then another. Urgh.
Next weekend is looming large on the horizon too.
Gaylaxicon 2009 is imminent, as in starting on Friday, the 9th.
Here's what I think I'm doing:
Friday, 6PM - Lesfic Fantasy - Beyond the Blonde and the Brunette A lot of current fantasy with lesbian characters grew out of Xena/Gabrielle fanfic. How do we honor this while moving the fiction in new directions? Who does this well? What's the future of lesbian fantasy/sf?
Joselle Vanderhooft, me and presumably one or two other folks
                       8PM - MEET THE PROS PARTY

Saturday, 12:30PM - Sex and Death and Shapeshifters, Oh My! Urban fantasy, erotic fantasy, and paranormal romance. Lesbian vampires, hot gay/bi werewolves, lovely elves, and slightly inept witches. What makes these stories so popular, and who does it well?
Brian Attebery, Pam Keesey, Catherine Lundoff [M], Lyda Morehouse
How's that for a lineup?
                 5PM - I'll be at the Spectrum Awards where I'm hoping Haunted Hearths does well.

Sunday, 12:30 PM - Broad Universe - Reading Rapidfire Reading by members of Broad Universe, an organization that promotes work by women sf/f/h authors.
Lou Hoffman, Catherine Lundoff [M], Lyda Morehouse, JoSelle Vanderhooft

Somewhere in there, I'm supposed to be autographing too. Need to track down the schedule on that part. Looks like it'll be a very fun con. I'm looking forward to hanging out with out of town pals who I don't see much.

Good schedule!

If you find the autographing schedule, could you let me know where? I think I'm supposed to have one, too.

Looks like fun!

I'm happy to see that Gaylaxicon is happening in Montreal in 2010. May give it another try, since it's so close to home.
