The first ever SFContario will take place November 19-21 at the Ramada Plaza Hotel in Toronto, Ontario. Guests include Michael Swanwick, Robert Sawyer, Kelley Armstrong, Peter Watts, Karl Schroeder, Julie Czerneda, Billy Tackett, and many others.
My schedule follows. I look forward to being on a Firefly panel, and I’m really looking forward to the Yellow Peril panel, which I developed this summer, with the help of others.
Any chance I’ll see anyone from the Bureau there?

Yes, I realize that SDCC 2010 was last week. However, I kind of had a lot of stuff to do when I got home after the convention (I’ve only really finished unpacking just now), so now it’s time to get my notes together and let you know what happened during the con, based on my journal entries from the trip.

We’re one week away from Polaris (formerly Toronto Trek), which falls somewhere between Toronto’s author-heavy Ad Astra and the media-saturated interconnected conventions hosted at the end of the summer.
Guests include Robert Sawyer, Kelley Armstrong, Julie E. Czerneda, Karl Schroeder, Ed the Sock, Voyager‘s Ethan Phillips, Torchwood‘s Kai Owens, Galactica‘s Mark Sheppard, and the original Bionic Woman, Lindsay Wagner, among many others.
I’m on four panels (see below), and hope to hang with some Bureau-crats….
Penguicon 2010 has come and gone, with SF, authors, fantasy, complex discussions, parties, Linux, and a real-life superhero.
That most-remarkable of Conventions, Michigan’s Penguicon approaches! Past guests have included Neil Gaiman, Vernor Vinge, Charles Stross, Randall Munroe, Elizabeth Bear, and John Scalzi. Guests this year include Karl Schroeder, Geoffrey Landis, Spider and Jeanne Robinson, Joe Brockmeier, the Ferrett, and many others.
I’m giving one workshop and sitting on four panels. It would be great to meet some Bureau readers. Anyone coming to Penguicon?
You can find more information here. My schedule and some videos appear below.

Now that I can get online, here are my thoughts on day 2. Oh, and for those who are hoping for photographs and other pictures, I’ll get those for you later.
Well, I just got back from Kumoricon 2009. My reports and thoughts on day 1 of the Con, and what I said, saw, and did, below the break.
