WisCon programming suggestions...

are apparently open until January 8th, for those of us who may have missed this post in the WisCon LJ -

Me, I'm toying with the idea of attending as a 'civilian' instead of a pro this year, largely because I'm doing the guest thing at A-Kon 2010 the very next weekend and want to be at my best. I will also confess to a bit of con/panel burnout. And it's Jana's 50th birthday WisCon weekend so I'm thinking I'd like to spend time with her.  I believe this would make the first time in 13 or so years that I haven't done programming at WisCon, which is pretty amazing. Now, because I said this, I'll have a great idea for a panel in the next day or two...

Scorpion lollipops

Blueberry-flavored ones, filled with genuine scorpion goodness. They showed up in a gift package from my mom, along with some pound stirling left over from earlier trips to England, New York Stock Exchange architectural design earrings and a replica Tang dynasty horse statue. Just in case you wondered where I get it from.
