Watch me scintillate!

[mrissa]

In ten days I leave for Montreal, for the new convention Scintillation. Here's where you can find me there if you're a member! (Memberships have been sold out for the year, but I'm almost certainly going next year too.)

Friday 20:00 Time Travel and Teens
Why do these things go together so well?
Jo Walton (M), Kari Maaren, Marissa Lingen, Suzanna Hersey

Saturday 10:00 Good and Evil
Ada Palmer has offered the thought experiment of a universe where the morally worst act ever was that somebody bought a flavour of ice cream they knew their friend didn't like. Conversely, the Vikings ask the theodicy question backwards: why is there good? Let's consider the space of good and evil and what interesting things we can do with them.
Yves Meynard (M), Ada Palmer, Maria Farrell, Jo Walton, Marissa Lingen

Saturday 11:00 Reading from selected works. With Tim Boerger.

Saturday 14:00 Why you should be reading John M. Ford
World Fantasy award winning author of The Dragon Waiting, Growing Up Weightless, and many other stories and poems and gaming material.
Marissa Lingen (M), Emmet O'Brien, Andrew Plotkin, Lila Garrott, Sarah Emrys

Sunday 17:00 Imagining the Future
How can we write science fiction when it's so difficult to imagine the future?
Yves Meynard, Dennis Clark, Ada Palmer, Maria Farrell, Marissa Lingen (M), Jim Cambias

I am so looking forward to being there!

See you soon!

If your panels are typical, that sounds like a wonderful con. Also Montreal at its most beautiful.

You can tell Montreal in early October is great because I'm willing to give up a few days of Minneapolis in early October.

I mean, really.

And yes, I have every hope of a wonderful con.
