The mercury is hitting triple digits and we\u2019re just passed the halfway point of the baseball season. It must be time for\u00a0ArmadilloCon<\/a>\u00a0once again!<\/p>\n This year\u2019s con, the 41st such affair, takes place this coming weekend, August 2-4.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As I have done for roughly the past 25 years or so, I\u2019ll be in attendance and because apparently the con organizers have learned nothing, I\u2019ll be sitting in on several panels.<\/p>\n Best Comics You\u2019ve Never Read<\/strong> What\u2019s new, what\u2019s surprising, and what are upcoming titles that have got you pumped?!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Godzilla in 2019 The big guy is back!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The best and brightest of the new generation of SFF short story writers<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Editing Anthologies<\/strong> What are the goals? How do you put together a cohesive but representative collection? What is the difference between a collection and an anthology anyway?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Texas in SFF What are some of the best, and most fantastical, re-imaginings of Texas in sff? What are the most dystopian places, things and people in Texas (present and past)? what are the most utopian?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Giants in the Earth<\/strong> With the return of Giant Monsters, Kaiju movies, and of course, Godzilla and King Kong, it’s time to unpack what (if any) larger message these Earth-Shakers represent; nature striking back, mankind’s hubris, or simply big,. goofy fun? Our panelists will get to the heart of the matter with the usual amount of gravitas and snarkiness.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n How to Work with Editors<\/strong> What do editors bring to the the table? What should authors expect from editors? How do editors perceive the relationship with authors?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hope to visit with you this weekend at one of my talks, at the Tachyon table, or just wandering the halls. Come by and say howdy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The mercury is hitting triple digits and we\u2019re just passed the halfway point of the baseball season.
