Marvelous, magnificent, Marcon!

Well, the cat's out of the bag, and I can now gleefully announce that next Memorial Day Weekend, I'll be in Columbus, Ohio, serving as the Music Guest of Honor at Marcon! (I was waiting to say anything until it was public knowledge. As it was printed on the back of the program books, it's public knowledge.) The full guest slate is as follows:

Author Guest of Honor: Wen Spencer.
Artist Guest of Honor: Billy Tackett.
Science Guest of Honor: Central Ohio Paranormal Society.
Costuming Guest of Honor: Tom Saveny.
Music Guest of Honor: Seanan McGuire.

So...Billy Tackett, who draws some of the best zombies in the business, the Central Ohio Paranormal Society, and me. I'm not familiar with the works of Wen Spencer or Tom Saveny, but I can already tell that we're going to have a pretty high "dead things" level at this convention. Somehow, this fails to bother me in any meaningful way.

Marcon!

It's gonna be a party.

I strongly suspect from context that that's actually Tom Savini, whose work you may recognize.

TOM SAVINI?! I GET TO BE IN A HOTEL WITH TOM SAVINI?!

Congratulations! Sounds like a match made in heaven! (Or at least archetypal zombie overrun mall... :D)

Outstanding! Marcon is one of my regular cons. (Here's my brand-new con report.)

Yay! I get to see you!

When I saw the theme was going to be Zombies, I was hoping that they'd get you! I'm always a costume panelist there and it's a great time.

seanan_mcguire

May 26 2009, 17:40:07 UTC 8 years ago

I didn't realize that was the theme until just now. So happy!

Sweet!

So what are you going to do in a few years when you get conflicting invites to be both music and author GoH? Are you up for pulling double-duty? :-)

seanan_mcguire

May 26 2009, 17:40:44 UTC 8 years ago

Oh, I can pull double-duty at the same convention, and generally do (since I do author panels and give concerts). I couldn't do two conventions in the same weekend. I would die.

Coolness!!

I didn't make it to Marcon this year but little did I know it was all because there was going to be an even better reason to go next year :).

Will look forward to next year intently! :D

I usually do ASL for the filk GOH - Can I sign for your concert? Please? Please?

Wen Spencer has two series I think you'd enjoy greatly, as well as a couple of singleton novels.
One series has a crossover of "our" world with that of a Fae world, set in Pittsburgh. First novel: Tinker.
The other series is creepy kewl, whose first book is called Alien Taste, about a feral boy turned investigator who learns a great deal about his mysterious abilities.

I liked "A Brother's Price." It was weird, but a really interesting and well thought out premise. I also enjoyed "Tinker," but I haven't read "Wolf who Rules" yet. Didn't care for the "Alien Taste" ones.
