For those who are coming or who might be interested, here's my just-arrived schedule for Dragon*Con, Sept. 3-6.
Note that "Marvel vs DC Jeopardy" is back to being Jeopardy rather than Family Feud (my decision, at almost the last minute) and is on Friday at 5:30 pm instead of its usual Saturday time slot, and in the Hanover rooms instead of previous locations-- larger, which is cool... and slightly intimidating! This is our 13th big year and I'm rolling out a new format that lets everyone get to play. Also, I'm doing a reading on Sunday at 4 pm in University (Hyatt), and I have been known to hand out cash money to people I can strong-arm to show up for those. ;-) I'll be reading from my current novel-in-progress, HAWK, as well as one or two other works. I only hope that Frog Thor shows up again this year, because having a six-foot frog with a red cape and Mjolnir on the front row last year was truly awesome. :-) --Van (Very excited to have Monday free, so I can take Maddie to Robot Battles, where we can chant "EEE-VIL! EEE-VIL!" with the guys from Evil Robots, Inc.) ------------------- Title: Marvel vs DC Jeopardy Description: A new twist on an old favorite!
