Happy Things: A busy day of panels

Just got my preliminary schedule for Arisia. It's entertainingly unbalanced, but likely to be fun. I have one panel on Friday, one on Saturday, and *seven* on Sunday. So basically I get to relax and see the convention on Saturday, and then go into full-scale Panel Marathon on Sunday, starting at 10am and running until 11pm, with a few two-hour breaks in the middle to eat and get my head together.

Should be amusing: I've never done quite so *much* blathering in one day before, but I suspect it won't be too hard. And the most important of the bunch -- The Future of Online Community, which I'm moderating and expect to be jam-packed with both people and ideas -- is smack in the middle of Sunday, so that looks to be the high point of the weekend...

There's a particular panel I'm wondering if I'm on. Actually, it seems a slam-dunk that I'd be on it -- so I guess I'm wondering *who else* is on it.

That seems like a lot to me! But if you're up for it, I hope you enjoy it. :)

"I've never done quite so *much* blathering in one day before"

Of course you have! It's just that this time it's officially sanctioned.

Love,

I've never been to a science fiction convention, but I skimmed over the web site after you mentioned it, and was entranced at the idea of the Steampunk Ball. Am I likely to encounter people I know there? Should I start sewing right away? Would it be possible to polka wearing goggles?

I'm currently on 10 myself, and I'm seriously thinking of trying to drop one or two. I've got 1 Friday, 3 Saturday (one is my half-hour reading), 4 Sunday (three of which are contiguous), and 2 on Monday. There are two that I'm less enthused about than others, so they'll be the likely victims.

They only put me on 4 panels, which makes my decision to drop Arisia this year easier to accept.

It does mean I won't be on an IP Law panel with RMS though. I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Seven panels in one day? Who schedules these things?
