I’ll be in Tulsa for Conestoga <\/a>over the weekend. Did you know that if you google "conestoga", the Tulsa sci-fi con is the fourth hit? Is there nothing else in America named after the eponymous wagon, or is google just anticipating my web-browsing needs?<\/p>\n

At any rate, as is the tradition for con excursions, here’s my schedule:<\/p>\n

Fri 3pm: Hacks Anonymous vs. The Art Police … What we do to sell. <\/p>\n

Sat 9am: Is literacy in decline?<\/p>\n

Sat 6pm: Speed date the author.<\/p>\n

If you see me at the con, and I’m sure you will, because this is the happening place to be this weekend, I’ll be handing out copies of Space Squid. And don’t forget, I sign body parts.<\/p>\n

Tulsa is at an awkward distance from Austin. It’s just a little too far to drive alone, and a little too close for air travel to seem reasonable. Since the Amtrak line only goes through Oklahoma City, I have opted instead to take the Greyhound. <\/p>\n

I’ve never taken the Greyhound before, and considering that I’ve crossed the country on a motorcycle and in a canoe, this ought to be the next great travel adventure. I have a 2am layover in the Dallas Greyhound station which I think will be super exciting. I’m going to pack a roll of duct tape and a six-inch knife.<\/p>\n

In other things to look forward to, the con hotel has a waterslide!
\n
\nThere’s an asterixed note that says the waterpark is for children under 14, but I think it unlikely that anyone will be able to stop me.<\/p>\n

Also, this will be my first public appearance in a utilikilt. <\/p>\n

Expect plenty of pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
