Our CONvergence Schedules: Where We’ll Be and How You Can Join Us!
The entire male crew will be at CONvergence this 4th of July weekend. Why the guys? We drew straws. Or it was entirely random. Whichever sounds more interesting. In any case, I’ve taken the liberty to compile a day-by-day schedule of all of our activities, whether as a group OR as individuals. Some things may be added to this in the near future (walk-by sessions, etc.). See the official CONvergence schedule for details about these panels (and others). Here goes: Thursday 12:30 PM — Mainstreaming of Geekdom (Mike Underwood) 12:30 PM — Godzilla vs. Kaiju (David Annandale and Shaun Duke) 2:00 PM — The Skiffy and Fanty Show (LIVE at CONvergence)(everybody w/ guests Martha Wells and Carie Patel) 5:00 PM — Many Faces of Dracula (David Annandale) 5:00 PM — Shakespeare and Fantasy (Paul Weimer) 8:30 PM — Green is Not Diversity (Shaun Duke) 10:00 PM — Are Zombies Dead (Yet)?

(David Annandale) 2:00 PM — From Gaming to Writing (Mike Underwood) 2:00 PM — From Gaming to Writing (David Annandale) Note: we do plan to have Walk-By sessions this year, but we haven’t put them in the schedule yet. It’s likely they’ll be semi-random due to our bizarre schedules and the various interviews we’ll be conducting. The best way to get involved in a Walk-By session is to pay attention to our Twitter feed, which is where we’ll announce full details (location, etc.).
