Tachyon Presentation
Fri 8:00 PM-9:00 PM Conference Center
Klaw*, Lalumière, Lansdale, Weisman

Our Editor Guest of Honor discusses Tachyon Publications, past, present and future.

(In April, 2013, I joined the Tachyon staff as resident Social Media Maven, not to mention they published The Apes of Wrath.)

Interview
Sat 11:00 AM-Noon Room D
Cupp*, Klaw, Weisman

(Nothing like getting to grill the boss in public.)

Gorilla Playing Saxophone with Balloons
Sat Noon-1:00 PM Room D
Finn*, Crider, Klaw, Johnson

Some of the strangest, craziest, weirdest stories about apes ever written.

(This is my umpteenth apes panel with Finn and Crider. It’ll be fun hazing newcomer Derek Johnson.)

Autographing
Sat 3:00 PM-4:00 PM Dealers’ Room
Klaw, Stufflebeam

(Sounds like the name of some avant-garde comedy duo.)

Stupid Superhero Powers
Sat 5:00 PM-6:00 PM Room E
Roberts*, Benjamin, Foster, Klaw, Rogers

The title says it all.

(Matter Eater Lad is just the beginning…)

Reading
Sat 6:00 PM-7:00 PM Southpark A
Klaw

(Not sure what I’m reading yet, but it just might have something to do with pop culture.)

Brain in a Jar
Sun 3:00 PM-4:00 PM Room F
Klaw*, Burton, Ledbetter, Mahoney, Strickland, Young

What would science have to do to make Brain in the Jar a reality?

(You make one off hand comment about how it’d be cool to produce a “brain in the jar” anthology and you’re scarred for life.)

Hope to see everyone there this coming weekend. Be sure to say howdy!
