Seanan at San Diego Comic-Con: Where can you find her?

Oh, the places you'll go, oh, the places I'll be! Here's where to start if you're looking for me...

Thursday, July 12th.

1:15 PM, Room 6A: Not with a Bang, with a Bite.

It's the obligate zombie panel! Because really, that's what I do. Join me-as-Mira, along with Jeyn Roberts (Dark Inside), Michael Spradlin (Blood Riders), Diana Rowland (Even White Trash Zombies Get the Blues), Stephen Blackmoore (City of the Lost), Dana Fredsti (Plague Town), Susan Dennard (Something Strange and Deadly), and Max Brooks (World War Z). Let's see if Max and I can get into another argument about his virology, shall we? Also, you will love Stephen. He's the bomb. The panel will be immediately followed by an autographing session, wherein I will sign whatever you bring me.

Friday, July 13th.

5:00 PM, Booth 1116: Mira Grant signing.

Nothing says "Friday the 13th in San Diego" like Mira Grant signing at the Orbit booth! Come for signatures, cool swag, and the chance to have me beam at you like a lunatic while I try to drink enough Diet Dr Pepper to put me in an early grave. It'll be fun!

Saturday, July 14th.

10:30 AM, Room 5AB: Hot Town: Faeries in the City.

Mmmm, 10:30 AM panel on Saturday. On the plus side, you know you'll be able to get a seat. On the double-plus side, you know none of us will be awake enough to be filtering a damn thing that comes out of our mouths. Come for the urban fantasy, stay for the raw humor value of me and Jeff Lewis calling each other cockwaffles. Join me-as-Seanan, along with Benjamin Tate (Leaves of Flame), Kevin Hearne (The Iron Druid Chronicles), Kat Richardson (Seawitch), Jennifer Bosworth (Struck), Anton Strout (Simon Canderous series), Jeanne Stein (Anna Strong Vampire Novels), J.F. Lewis (Void City books), and S. G. Browne (Lucky Bastard). The panel will be immediately followed by an autographing session, wherein Jeff and I will begin chewing on Kat.

Sunday, July 15th.

12:00 PM, Room 32AB: Browncoat reading.

Mira Grant joins the San Diego Browncoats for a reading from "San Diego 2014," and to answer any questions you might have. And yes, we know this is up against Buffy. Stupid late schedule changes.

1:00 PM, Booth A-07: Mira Grant signing.

And then it's off to the Browncoats booth for a signing! Hooray for signings!

...and that is all my official business for the weekend. Unofficial business will include shopping, panels, ice cream, Amy-hugs, Amber-hugs, Sunil-hugs, Kaja-hugs...hugging is going to be a key part of this convention.

Onward, to San Diego!

Are you going to have separate Mira and Seanan costumes ?

July 18 2012, 15:27:07 UTC 4 years ago

Not this year.

Dear Ms McGuire,
Your request for an early grave has been denied at this time. Please do not resubmit, this denial is final.
Sincerely,
Your Fans.

Srsly,
We love you, please don't die. If you do die, please don't reanimate because we don't want to have to kill you. I mean, we will, but we won't like it.

Depends on the method by which she reanimates, doesn't it?

A Spock-style resurrection, for example, would carry no such issues, although it would have complications of its own.

It's actually up against Doctor Who and the Jane Espenson panel! Aww.

And then it's off to the Browncoats booth for a signing! Hooray for signings!
Hooray!

HUGS!

Absolutely.

Friday the 13th Signing for the WIN! That rules.

And yes, we know this is up against Buffy. Stupid late schedule changes.

Oh, that is just not fair. Making Whedonites choose against themselves--SO not fair! (Will you be wearing a brown coat? Just curious...)

July 18 2012, 15:28:01 UTC 4 years ago

Nope. I was wearing an orange shirt.

One day I will make it to SDCC, I think it's going to have to be a bucket list thing. For what it's worth I'd go to your panel against the Buffy one, Firefly on the other hand...

July 19 2012, 15:17:38 UTC 4 years ago

You'd have needed to start camping at midnight, for Firefly.

I missed you last year so i am definitely hoping to track you down this year. Happy SDCC-ing!!!

July 19 2012, 15:17:48 UTC 4 years ago

SDCC rules.

I am tired. I kept reading some of your schedule as "Mira Grant SINGING" and I thought, "Cool! She gets a concert at SDCC!"

Hopes. Dashed. ;-)

July 19 2012, 15:18:02 UTC 4 years ago

Someday I will. And I will have the BEST BAND EVER with me.

I don't know how to feel about the fact that right now my main reason for being sad about not going to SDCC (wrong country AND coast) is that I can't flail excitedly at you for a sec and get you to sign my Newsflesh books. I probably should be saddest about missing the manga stuff, 'cause it's my industry, but right now I'm so thoroughly head-over-heels for Blackout that it's astonishing. ^_^

So in lieu of that...thank you so much for such a good read, and have a wonderful con!

July 19 2012, 15:18:29 UTC 4 years ago

Aw, thank you!

Where are you located? I may be getting out to you sooner than later.

Wishing you a marvelous time!

July 19 2012, 15:18:39 UTC 4 years ago

It was lovely.

July 11 2012, 01:59:23 UTC 4 years ago

Sorry to comment spam - but I just discovered that zap2it lists the "Not with a Bang, with a Bite" panel as #4 of 30+ on their "Girl's Guide to ComiCon 2012". How cool is that??

Max Brooks actually argued with you? I mean, I loved _World War Z_ and all, but his "virus" was basically magic. Which was perfectly appropriate for what he was doing, but his arguing virology with you seems... ill-advised.

Have a fine time!

July 19 2012, 15:21:42 UTC 4 years ago

Twice now!

I ate his breakfast.

Mira Grant signing

I misread this as "Mira Grant singing". Which left me wondering - which of your songs would Mira Grant sing? Presumably the Black Death song?

July 19 2012, 15:21:56 UTC 4 years ago

Several people have done that! Maybe Mira needs to do an album.

July 11 2012, 02:48:35 UTC 4 years ago

And thinking about it - I have READ "The Tolling of Pavlov's Bells". And I am going to be reading "San Diego 2014: The Last Stand of the California Browncoats" as soon as it's out, um, TOMORROW! I must say, the idea of going to a *MIRA GRANT* signing actually *AT* ComicCon ... strikes me as COMPLETE INSANITY.

July 19 2012, 15:22:16 UTC 4 years ago

Ye-ah, I have sort of cultivated my own culture of fear there, huh?

July 12 2012, 00:22:17 UTC 4 years ago

argh want! Sounds like so much fun, I hope you enjoy!

Also, zombies... my husband found this link on Yahoo "Anti-Zombie Strongholds for Sale". Lol!

July 19 2012, 15:22:24 UTC 4 years ago

Awesome!

Have fun!

And I bought my copy of "San Diego 2014" this morning. Thanks for the birthday present!

July 19 2012, 15:22:34 UTC 4 years ago

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I hope you're having a ball! I do have to say that your comment "Let's see if Max and I can get into another argument about his virology, shall we?" made me think, "Wait, he has a virology?" *eg*

July 19 2012, 15:22:44 UTC 4 years ago

Not so much, no!
