But for those who are interested in meeting me or getting books or signatures, you'll probably want to know where I'll be! Below is my schedule for the con.
Please note that when I am not at events, I do have a table in the Dealer's Den and will have books available for purchase or signature! I'm not sure where my table is yet, but look for my books stacked up and maybe some FREE CANDY??
Thursday:
Thursday is my arrival day. I expect to be pretty much a zombie, so that's a great time to find out what my brain acts like when it's half shut-down and crazy. I'll probably sack out early, but who knows! There's always time for a beer, right?Friday:
Opening Ceremony
Time: 8 pm - 9
Location: Main Stage
Where it all begins! Come and share in starry-eyed wonder as MattLion declares ConFuzzled officially open -- or, if you're more the cynical type, come and wait impatiently for him to finish so the first dance can begin.
After this I MAY drop by the Pub Quiz -- that's from 10 pm - midnight on the second stage.
