My Schedule for Shore Leave 40
If you’re attending Shore Leave in Hunt Valley, MD in a few weeks, you can find me behind the table at the following panels. In between, I’ll be in the audience for other discussion panels, celebrity stage appearances (specifically William Shatner, Allison Scagliotti, and Ming-Na Wen), getting autographs and photo ops, and generally socializing.
Hope to see you at Shore Leave’s big 4-0 celebration!
