Where's Seanan? The Worldcon edition.

It's time for everybody's favorite scavenger hunt, Trying To Find Seanan In A Convention Of Several Thousand People! It helps that I'm usually wearing electric orange. But Brooke, who is also usually wearing electric orange, is attending. And I'm injured, so I'm less fast-moving and noticeable than usual. Better provide a schedule!

Friday, August 31st.

Reading, 11AM, Grand Suite 3.
Ah, the Worldcon reading. Will it be any better planned and executed than my usual readings? Nope. But I'll have fun anyway, because I always do.

Signing, 3PM, Autograph Tables.
Seanan Signs Shit: Chicago Edition. Always fun for the whole family.

It may look like my Friday is lightly scheduled. This is an illusion. I have three rehearsals over the course of the day, and the DAW dinner to attend, so really, these are the best times/places to find me.

Saturday, September 1st.

SFWA meeting, 9AM.
Expect grumbling.

Operetta, 12PM, Plaza Ballroom.
I'm in an operetta! It's going to be awesome! You should come and see it! And right after it ends...

Seanan McGuire in Concert, 1:30PM, Plaza Ballroom.
See me in concert with Vixy, Tony, Amy, Mary, Brenda, and potentially more, depending on the size and load-bearing nature of the stage! Merchandise will also be available from the filk sales table, including CDs, posters, and more.

Warehouse 13 vs. Eureka, 4:30PM, Grand Suite AB.
Oh it. Is. On.

The Next H1N1, 6PM, Field.
Expect giggling from me, and looks of profound discomfort from everyone else.

BARFLEET WOO WOO BARFLEET 9PM, Barfleet Party.
I am tending bar for Barfleet! Because Barfleet is awesome.

Sunday, September 2nd.

SF Squeecast recording live at 12PM.
It'll be squee-ful. You know, except for that whole "we'll all be neurotic messes over the impending doom that is the Hugos" thing. But hey, we can still be enthusiastic. About stuff. Between panic attacks.

The Hugo Awards, 8PM.
Meep.

And that's where to find me! Hope to see you there.

I was thinking of going acoustic this time, but then someone just gave me an electric orange headband which says THIS IS A HEADBAND on it.
Huh. What shade is acoustic orange?

Would it be a spoiler to say which side you're for, on the Warehouse 13 vs Eureka panel? (I won't be at Worldcon, alas.)
I'm a swing. I'll go with whichever side needs me.
Have a blast!

(I would say "break a leg," but then, what if you did?)
Thanks!
Have fun!
One day I'm going to have to suck it up and actually go to a big convention, cause this one sounds like a blast.
I'd say start with one of the big regionals, and work your way up.
That looks like fun! (an and a lot of work -- but fun!) See you there!

I'm finally through my backlogged-backlogs of books, and reading Blackout (right after reading Deadline)!

Normally, I'd expect being less fast-moving would make you easier to spot than normal.
Oddly, no. I've conditioned everyone who knows me to look for movement.
I won't be in Chicago, but I'll be watching the live feed of the Hugos. Appendages crossed for you!
Here's hoping...
I hope that this year's Hugos are as interesting as last year's, but way more fun with Squeecast, Newsfledh, and Wicked Girls in the winner's circle.
(I'm sorry that I won't be there in person this time.)
You will be missed.
See you there!!
For THE FIRST TIME OMG!
All riiiiight, so what Twitter feed should I be madly refreshing on Sunday night?

Although I will probably watch Breaking Bad before checking, in which case I anticipate having dueling emotions of agony and joy.
I, um. Do not know. Because I will be too freaked-out to tweet, and will just be sitting in a corner, twitching.

Why are you usually wearing electric orange?

What do you do if the batteries go dead on you and you forgot the converter?
Heh.
You're in an operetta, and I'm not there to see it. Damn!
Sorry!
May the great bird of the galaxy shine upon thee at the Hugos...
So mote it be.
All the Squeecasters in a room together? So much win!
Let's see who we kill and eat!

Best panel is best.
Sounds like fun! Sarah, myself, and the mini-human will be wishing you well from afar. (Well, Josh will likely just be thinking "Ball!" but hey). I look forward to listening to the squeecast episode when it goes up - I save those as treats for when I really need something fun at work.

Also, we'll be sending prayers for healing your way for the injury. I hope it doesn't inhibit your enjoyment of the con overmuch.
You know, "Ball!" is worth all the well-wishes in the world.

Will y'all be making the book release on the 8th?

Thanks.
