Hi! How’ve you been?<\/p>\n
It’s been a busy couple of months. I keep meaning to write, honest.<\/p>\n
Look, it’s not you, it’s me<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Oh, never mind. Here’s where I’ll be speaking at the Balticon convention<\/a> this year. If you’re in Baltimore, or near Baltimore, or anywhere on the east coast, swing by!<\/p>\n Multi-Creatives<\/b>. Saturday, 12:00 noon, Derby. I’m really only on this one to say, “YOU FOOLS! YOU CANNOT DO IT ALL WITHOUT LOSING YOUR MIND!”<\/p>\n A Conversation with Physicist Bill Phillips<\/b>. Saturday, 5:00 pm, Garden Room. I am going to do my best not to go all fanboy over a man who’s a Nobel Prize winner for work that led directly to my PhD thesis. Come see if I succeed!<\/p>\n Comedy Improv<\/b>. Saturday, 6:00 pm, Chesapeake. I have no idea what this panel is really about, but I assume I’ll do my usual thing: turn off my filters, let my brain start spinning freely, and then say whatever random thing I think is funny. If this requires actual improv acting, all the better.<\/p>\n CUT! Perfect! Print it!<\/b> Saturday, 8:00 pm, Parlor 3041. I started out knowing nothing, and now I know more than nothing. In just 50 minutes I’ll teach you how to make videos the ED WOOD WAY!<\/p>\n Disasterpiece Theatre Live<\/b>. Sunday, 1:00 pm, Chesapeake. We’ve not had a chance to record a live Disasterpiece Theatre<\/a> episode, so this should be fun and possibly train-wrecky. Either way, everyone wins!<\/p>\n Science of the Whedonuniverse<\/b>. Sunday, 10:00 pm, Salon A.<\/p>\n This is a solo version of the panel I was part of at Dragon*Con back in 2010. I’ll talk brain scanning, personality transfers, terraforming, and more.<\/p>\n Whew. That seems like enough stuff for one convention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi! How’ve you been? It’s been a busy couple of months. I keep meaning to write, honest.
