I and Baron will be helping Radio Comix with their table this year, so Please, stop by and say hello. Yes, he and I will be doing sketch books there. Maybe let Radio have some of our prints for sale too depending on table space.

Our panels this year are --

Where Does It Come From?
Your mastermind villain dominates the land from his castle of solid iron atop dank dungeons and armories deep in the earth. Who mined all that iron, and where was it smelted? How was that cubic mile of dirt hauled away, and why didn't anyone notice? A good world-builder should be able to answer questions about the origins and implications of characters, artifacts, and infrastructure.
Time: Friday, Jan 22 08:00 PM To 09:30 PM in Empire
Panelists: David Bryant, Baron Engel, Christina "Smudge" Hanson, James Lowry

Fashion Tails
Fashion can encompass any body covering or decoration. Aside from practicalities such as cleanliness or environmental protection, it sends social signals to one’s fellows: status, class, beauty, ethnicity, religion, political affiliation, or a host of others. A good world-builder should put considerable thought into sartorial fads and traditions, and can use them to great effect in scene-setting.
Time: Saturday, Jan 23 08:00 PM To 09:30 PM in Empire
Panelists: David Bryant, Baron Engel, Christina "Smudge" Hanson, James Lowry

Coffee, Tea, and Memes
Come see the panelists hold forth on nearly every subject under the sun, including topics suggested by the audience. Listen to anecdotes, discussion, and debate, and put in your two cents’ worth—but keep it short, because a new topic will be up in just a few minutes! Modest refreshments will be provided.
Time: Sunday, Jan 24 08:00 PM To 09:30 PM in Empire
Panelists: David Bryant, Baron Engel, Christina "Smudge" Hanson, James Lowry

Please come - You'll have a great time and engage your brain in world-building all at the same time! ^.^

Am getting better - pumping me full of meds see,s to help. Trying to take it easy and under wraps before con as best as I can.

Holidays are finally over. I should probably take down the Xmas tree.

Horseback riding is being fun. I've moved from evening lessons to mid-day lessons with trail ride. Which works out well, since the lessons are right down the street from Lisa's place, I can go there afterwords and soak in the hot tube and visit.

My new years resolution is to get baron on a trail ride with me. ^.^

FC's coming up and the matting and art planing has begun. While baron and I will have panels in the art show this year, we will not have a table. However you can still find us in the dealers room as we'll be helping Elin out at the Radio table this year. We'll be hosting Elin at our place for the con again this year. Hopefully we will be just as good of hosts as last year and make FC a nice, relaxing con for her.

My main goal for the con is to do enough in the art show and in sketch books that I can by my riding boots.

Will post what art I'm going to be hanging on my art panel later.
