Dragoncon Schedule and Other Things

I will never, ever, ever work with SwiftPod again. Ever. 0 stars. -5 stars. 99% of my store stock troubles can be traced to this one vendor. Grrr. I finally got an answer as to the stock issue – politics. Apparently the political activists tapped out their T-shirt supply.

Onto funner things.

I promised to repost the Dragoncon schedule for next week, Friday 30th of August to Sunday September 1st . Here it is as of today:

Ilona

Gordon:

10:00 pm panel, blink, blink.

The schedule is subject to change. Your best bet is to download Dragoncon app. Stuff changes and the changes should be reflected in the app faster than anywhere else.

Normally we do some little meet and great outside of convention, but we signed a contract with Dragoncon that prohibits any appearances before or after it within 100 miles of the con for a certain period. We will not be doing any appearances outside the con. They are giving us a meet and greet on Sunday and we are appearing a number of places on Friday and Saturday.

If you are a publishing colleague or friend, we have foods open, except for Sunday breakfast. (This is what writer meet ups are like – we email each other and say things like , “What food do you have open?” because everyone is so busy, the only chance to meet is usually during a meal.)

Jeaniene Frost and we are going to have free postcards and free tote bags with the purchase of a book. They will be available at the booth of Missing Volume, our book vendor while supplies last.

This is your chance to acquire the sinister turkey.

We will also have giveaway books available at the panels while supplies last.

We will only sign items. We will not be signing people. Please no body parts. Please no children to be signed. It is not safe and we are not comfortable doing that. (Yes, this has happened, and this is why we are now stating this in advance.)

We will do our best to pose for pictures and selfies unless we are running to the next panel and absolutely cannot stop. I hope we’ll get a handler. Fingers crossed.

This will be an interesting con. We are not recovering from Covid as fast as we hope. I carried a very light side table halfway down the stairs yesterday and I was out of breath. I just kind of collapse around 3:00 pm and Gordon can’t sleep because of congestion. We get super tired, so my hope is we will bounce back in time to meet all of schedule demands.

Okay, have to go work now.
