ICON Schedule

This afternoon I’m flying down to Iowa to be Toastmaster at ICON 38. Which means I get to introduce and interview and generally hang out with their long list of guests of honor:

Hugo and Nebula winning author Nancy Kress
Hugo and World Fantasy Award winning editor Ellen Datlow
Writer Jack Skillingstead
Artist, Author and founder of ICON Joe Haldeman
Editor and Mommy of ICON Gay Haldeman
Author, Nebula and Hugo nominee and Co-Founder of ICON Gregory Frost
Fan Guest of Honor Steven Keith Tait

Any suggestions for questions I should ask, or particularly juicy stories I should share during opening ceremonies?

Here’s my schedule for the weekend, assuming nothing changes:

Thursday

6:30 pm: Group Booksigning at Barnes & Noble

1 – 5 pm: DreamCon
7 pm: Opening Ceremonies
