Last week I breezily assured myself that there was plenty of time to panic before DragonCon. And then, y’know, we had an earthquake and a hurricane thing going on*, and suddenly whee! it’s time to panic!
I’m getting in Thursday night, and leaving Sunday, and things are kind of packed in-between. I hope to see you there! (and feel free to stop me and say hi. I may be slightly discombobulated at first, but that’s just, y’know…sleep dep.)

*sounds like the set-up to a joke, doesn’t it? Not so much of one, no.
I want to come to the meetup, but I don’t know if I’ll get away from Scott Sigler’s book launch in time. Are you in the DragonCon group on Goodreads?
I’m in the group but Goodreads was one of the things that fell victim to “too many deadlines, not enough me” syndrome a while back…. I skim the messages but that’s about all.
