Cookbook launch at Conflux
Sep. 29th, 2011 09:51 amThe launch of the Conflux cookbook is indeed at 3.30 pm and not 2.30 pm on Saturday. There's a rather interesting looking steampunk panel just before it, now.
Sep. 29th, 2011
Friday
Stay away from the registration desk before lunchtime.
Completely skip the 3.30 pm workshop about minding Medieval Ps and Qs (very handy for writers and people whose language could do with an extension, but, since I'm the one teaching it…)
Avoid Angry Robots and their hours, for I will be there to cheer them on. Also avoid CSFG launches and events, for I shall be there, again, in my cheer squad capacity.
You might also want to avoid the opening ceremony, though I'm sure there are enough people there so that you will be able to stay clear of me.
Saturday
10 am - Janeen Webb will read Manifest Destiny - I'd be a fool to miss it
12 pm - booklaunch, Dawn Meredith -I'm launching a book! Poor, poor Dawn…
3.30 pm Saturday - Conflux and Eneit press cookbook launch
4.30 pm Mass book signing
7 pm banquet
Sunday
12.00 pm - booklaunch, Mary Victoria and Simon Haynes - I'm helping launch two books. Poor, poor Mary and Simon… (my role is giving a reading from Mary's new book - I have three days in which to rediscover my literacy)
1.30 pm panel - creative writing at university
2.30 pm panel - great libraries of fantasy
(note: these two panels are now on the same time as the auction - there are some collectibles at the auction that will be of interest to some of those who are attending these panels - we will all understand if you duck out from time to time!)
Monday
10 am panel - The critical mind
11.15 am kaffeeklatsche (I'll have my medieval photos with me and if no-one turns up I shall commune with broadswords and with the tombs of abbots and eat from my special stash of chocolate and smile in secret joy)
4 ish pm Dead dog party
NOTE: Some of the times have changed. This is the definitive version.

Sep. 29th, 2011 01:47 pmI need to buy a new thermometer. Apparently the one my father gave me*, measures two degrees out. I was so certain I had no fever the day before yesterday!
I am on antibiotics and other drugs today and will be measurably better by tomorrow afternoon. This is because I have rearranged tomorrow morning so that I'm spending it mostly in bed. (It's not all rearranged yet, but I'm no longer on the rego desk, which is 3 hours less of stuff to do).
Now that I know what's wrong, I don't feel nearly as sick. Or maybe it's that the first set of medicine is kicking in... either way, I intend to spend most of the rest of the day asleep. I have a lot of other stuff to do, but sleep comes first, just this once. When Emma gets here, I shall show her the ropes and then be the world's worst hostess.
*He gave it to me when I was 21 and leaving home, and I am now 50, so it may have been unreliable for longer than I thought.

Sep. 29th, 2011 04:47 pmIf your need is not urgent and dire, please don't ring me tonight or tomorrow! I have sent Emma to visit Rachel and will be spending quality time in bed, healing, until it's time to teach my workshop, tomorrow.
