A Blonde-Watcher's Guide to Migration Patterns, or, Where's Seanan?

January.
I'll be starting the month of January in the Pacific Northwest, where I'm staying with Vixy and Tony, both a) because I can, and b) to rehearse for Conflikt II at the end of the month. Remember, I'm this year's Guest of Honor, and we are going to rock. The. House.

After I return to California, I'll be going to see Evil Dead: the Musical in its second run at the Campbell Theater. I may be having my birthday party there. We'll see. Oh, and also? I'm putting out a new album this month.

February.
February both begins and ends with a convention. Conflikt starts the month, as the tail-end of the convention catches the beginning of February, and Wondercon ends it. Sometimes being a geek is truly a fantastic thing.

March.
March finds me running the music department for Consonance, the San Francisco Bay Area's very own filk convention. Our guests this year are absolutely first rate, and I don't just say that because most of them know where I live. It's going to be fantastic. You should totally come.

April.
It's a gap! In my schedule! During which I might actually do silly little things like sleeping, eating, and writing! Sometimes life is good.

May.
May will find me attending BayCon -- my second-ever BayCon as an actual working novelist. I intend to wander around giggling hysterically and looking starry-eyed. It's fun!

June.
June is Duckon! The convention where you can see me and Jim Butcher duke it out over...well, whatever the programming division tells us to duke it out over. The convention where you can catch me, Vixy, and Tony all on stage at the same time! The convention where you can watch me perplex my handlers by demanding to walk to 7-11 every morning! This is going to be such a blast.

July.
Oh sweet, sweet San Diego ComiCon, how I've missed you. How I've longed for you. And how happy I am that I finally get to come back to you this year. I promise I will never leave you again.

August.
It's blonde vs. Canada as I make my way to the Montreal WorldCon. Who will win? Probably the fries with gravy.

September.
Nothing yet. But it's a long way away, and the universe likes to toy with me. Watch this space for developments.

October.
The Ohio Valley Filk Festival! Potentially followed by another trip to Alabama, because dude, haunted corn maze. (And no, this isn't a surprise to Mary, she asked if I wanted to come back.)

November.
World Fantasy is in San Jose in 2009. Pretty sure I'm morally, if not legally, obligated to go. Just sayin'.

December.
Sleep.

The year is filling up fast, and more things are bound to appear as the months draw closer -- look at how detailed the first few months are compared to the later ones. If you want me, book early, book often, and bribe.

Whee!

Will there be time for sushi in Jan?

Time for dinner, probably, for sushi, no. I does not eat the sushi. It brings the uck.

November 11 2008, 20:43:51 UTC 8 years ago

Dinner that is not sushi is okay too. :)

bayushi wants to attend ConFlikt, and shall be dragging me as well. It will be my first filkcon.

November 12 2008, 01:31:58 UTC 8 years ago

Oh, WIN! You'll have a fantastic time, promise.

I had to do a google maps search because I couldn't, despite living close to the hotel, remember where the nearest one was. Google maps says there's one only 1.1 miles away. I think that's as the crow flies and I'm not entirely sure you can get there from here. But go ahead and try - I'll give you my cell phone # if you need to be rescued.

Already found it - there's one to the south and east, just north of Ogden. (As in, I think it's visible from Ogden, but the street address is on the side-street.) Also warned

sabellak that "Walking the GOH" might be on her list of Green Room Responsibilities this year. She was undismayed.

November 12 2008, 22:26:45 UTC 8 years ago

Woo-hoo!

November 12 2008, 22:26:35 UTC 8 years ago

I'm astonishingly resourceful when it comes to getting from point A to point B in the fastest possible time.

They're doing it AGAIN?? Oooh.

Speaking of theatre: we should start putting together Wicked plans. If you are interested.

WonderCon!! Now that I finally experienced a full weekend of it, I am totally taking advantage of the fact that such an awesome con is RIGHT THERE ACROSS THE BRIDGE.

And I need to get to Comic-Con again.

November 12 2008, 22:27:13 UTC 8 years ago

You're right, we totally should. I have to take my mother, but that doesn't preclude my also joining a group outing.

And WonderCon is love.

It looks like ticket availability is already becoming an issue, although TicketMaster does some weird things, so maybe we would get a better idea by calling the box office. But it would be prudent to begin gathering intel on when people could potentially go and scope out tickets. Wednesdays are fairly cheap.

November 13 2008, 20:45:17 UTC 8 years ago

Okay, I'll take a look. I can do Wednesdays, I can't do Thursdays.

Wait. Isn't there a book release in there somewhere as well?

November 12 2008, 01:14:44 UTC 8 years ago

I do not yet live in a universe where I am allowed to identify possible points for book release.

Hmm, yes, I wondered how you were going to fit a promotional world-wide book signing tour into your hectic schedule...

November 12 2008, 22:27:46 UTC 8 years ago

World-wide is, alas, unlikely unless my sales are unexpectedly stratospheric. Encourage everyone you've ever met to buy my book.

So I'll see you in Seattle, Montreal, and Columbus. Excellent!

November 12 2008, 22:27:58 UTC 8 years ago

Hey, cool.

Hey you know I said I'd be coming to Consonance and Wondercon, then I said I coulden't?

Now I am going to be at the San Diago Comic Con instead!

Would I be able to beg support and sugar indused giggles when there and posible crash space in the week after? (I will email and all that jazz when I remember)

November 12 2008, 22:28:10 UTC 8 years ago

Oh, sure! And yes, please email with details.

November 13 2008, 08:26:38 UTC 8 years ago

*dinodance!*

Email on the way!

(Also, I love that you used your ALH icon as it's already in my comfort read list)

November 13 2008, 20:49:27 UTC 8 years ago

ALH: comforting people since...well, since this year. Hooray!

I'm considering a pass at Chasing St. Margaret or Upon A Star over the holidays. The jury's still out on which I attack.
