My initial WorldCon schedule!

I've been asked "Gosh, Seanan, where are you going to be during the Montreal WorldCon?" Since "Canada" isn't actually a helpful reply, here is my initial schedule. It's still subject to change, and I'll post again closer to the convention.

THURSDAY.

2:00 PM: Improv Workshop. Step one, land in Canada. Step two, get off the plane. Step three, conduct an improv workshop. Oh, this should be fascinating. I may fall asleep while pretending to pretend to be a tree.
4:00 PM: Did You Know...? Filk trivia with me and Mark Bernstein. And my jetlag. My jetlag will be an active participant. It'll be interesting, even if it isn't terribly coherent.

SATURDAY.

7:00 PM: Panel in the Pool. The description reads "What would dolphins do? What side of the road would cephalopods prefer? Do they make screwdrivers for right-handed octopuses? The panel, in the deep end with lead boots, discusses aquatic intelligences." I'm hoping they don't actually intend to drown me, as I believe murder is illegal in Canada, but I'm happy to talk about squid for an hour. I'm a cheap date like that.

SUNDAY.

10:00 AM: Author Signing. Behold! If you bring me things, I'll sign them!
12:30 PM: Author Reading. I'll be participating in a ninety-minute group reading with Laura Anne Gilman, Margaret Ronald, and Stephanie Bedwell-Grime. I've never met two of the three before. This should be fun.
2:30 PM: Concert: Stone Dragons and Seanan McGuire. We each get a forty-five minute set. I think the Stone Dragons are going first, which puts me on at 3:15 PM. Dave Weingart is my stunt guitarist.
8:00 PM: The Future of Horror Movies. Heh. Heh. Heh...

MONDAY.

12:00 PM: Songwriting Workshop. We're going to be talking about songwriting, different approaches to songwriting, and other musical things. And then I'm going to be running to the airport.

So I'm presently rather lightly scheduled, and that suits me juuuuuust fine. I may wind up added to additional items; if that happens, I'll sing out and let you know.

Ooh songwriting. I miss that :(
I can't stop!
You're making me wish I was going. But I'm not. Might try to make it to a future con though. Nevertheless, enjoy!
I shall!
That is such a beautiful icon!
Your songwriting workshop is high on my list of "must see" events for the con.

Requesting "Sycamore Tree" when Dave's the only other person on stage with you is probably bad form, right? >:-)
I would look at you funny, and then walk quickly away in the opposite direction.
Hm. Could I put in a request for you to share your notes, if any, from the Songwriting panel? It's a topic I'd like to learn more about, and given how much I like your music and how prolific you are, you seem the logical person to go to for basics.
If I have any, I'll share? But for me, songwriting is such an organic thing, I'm really not sure I can write notes. I'll try.
Thank you. ^__^
"If you bring me things, I'll sign them!"

And if you sing them judifilksign will sign them as well...
Hee!

I'll be the one with the flask. :-)
This is potentially relevant to my interests. What will said flask contain?
Scotch whiskey or American bourbon, depending on my mood...
You are DEFINITELY relevant to my interests. Hi!
