Polaris

For those who are interested--I'm going to be there, with Steve, on all three days (July 10, 11 and 12). I'm contractually obligated to be at the Blastoff Party (Fri, 8:30 PM), followed by a 10:00 PM panel on Female Superheroes. My reading is 1:00 PM on Saturday, in the Unionville suite or room. The rest of Saturday goes like this:

3:00 PM--On the Fringe (about Fringe, strangely), Aurora
4:00 PM--Heroes (the show), Presidential Boardroom
6:00 PM--This is an Ex-Show! (I'll be talking about Kings), Aurora
10:00 PM--That Scared the Sh** Out of Me!, Kingcity
11:00 PM--Superman is Gay?, Kingcity
12:00 Midnight--Romance vs. Erotica vs. Porn (hoping to create Big Gay Black Magic Outlaw novel buzz, obviously;)), Oakridges

Sunday starts at 10:00 AM, with a panel on the intense difficulty of raising genre movie/anything else funds in Canada, followed by a noon panel called You Know What Would Make a Good Movie? Then we have a signing--me and Derwin Mak, 1:00 PM, Richmond--and I'm done.

I'll be bringing sale copies of Imaginary Beauties ($2.00 each), Words Written Backwards ($8.00 each), and at least ten dubs of the poetry-reading collection CD ($5.00 each). I'll also probably be reading from A Book of Tongues, doing "Mrs Margery Lovett, Her Book" (to distract myself from Readercon envy), and maybe reading a section of "Signal to Noise", which still teases me with its potential finishability. Look forward to seeing people there, if they're coming.

Have fun there. I was supposed to be a guest too, but I'm heading out to Buffalo tomorrow to be in Greg Lamberson's Slime City Massacre until Monday. If you don't see me again, you'll know I drank the yogurt....

Good luck on the Slimey set! I'll miss you, but man, that's surely going to be at least a little fun, too (in and between the boredom/discomfort/weather woes of most shoots I've extra-ed). Say hello to Greg from me...;)

Thanks! Yeah, only later did I figure out that (oh hai) I should maybe have recorded that for the poetry CD. Ah well. Too late now.

BTW...how did you like the sound-files? Did they work for you? (I haven't heard shit back from my Dad, who I sent the same links, but then, I didn't really expect to.)
