If you're going to be in San Francisco next weekend - March 11th to the 13th - then here's your chance to see me at Fogcon, "a literary-themed San Francisco SF/F con in the tradition of Wiscon and Readercon."
My panels and such are on Saturday, March 12, but I'll probably be floating around the event the other days as well:
Saturday, 3:00-4:15 P.M.
Inside the Sausage Factory
Oregon Room
Pro writers talk about their process: how they write, what works for them, what doesn’t work for them.
M: Jed Hartman, Steven R. Boyett, Cassie Alexander, Michael Shea, M.Christian

Saturday, 9:30-10:45 P.M.
What happened to “Punk”?
California Room
One of its core principles of cyberpunk is the repurposing of tech by the streets. But since Cyberpunk, we’ve had witpunk, splatterpunk, biopunk, and steampunk, and “-punk” seems to have become a word meaning “an SF genre”. Is the punk still there, or do we need to admit we’ve made it meaningless? Is it time for punkpunk?

That was a terrific panel. Thanks for making it so entertaining.
The combination of you, Nabil, Nick, and, um, I'm totally spacing out the fourth person's name, was quite amusing. Nice to "meet" you, if ejaculating some comments from the audience counts as such.
