Within moments I will have completed my huge list of things to do before Armadillocon. I get up early in the morning to help out with the writing workshop, so this is my last chance to prepare before everything goes nuts.<\/p>\n
For instance, I have prepared all the materials for the Armadillocon art show. Space Squid will be selling the clay tablets you’ve been hearing about, and since we have a table at the show, we’re selling some of the original artworks produced for the illustrations. We have some beautiful work by newcomers Morgan Wilson and Baylor Estes, as well as familiar artists like American Wife and Chris Friend. All the illustration sales (minus the con commission) go to the artists, so support these talented people who let Space Squid exploit their abilities. <\/p>\n
At the last moment, as I was packing things together, I also decided to put up on the art show the resin cast that was used on the backside of the clay tablets. It’s a gag seal that depicts a man defecating.

And you know how people participating at cons post their itinerary on their blog ahead of time? So that people who don’t immediately have access to the con grid schedule will know where to find them? Well, I’ve gone and done them one better. I’ve declared my programming schedule a programming track.
