All packed for #ICFA47 (International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts). Flight is early tomorrow morning. Looks like I misread PM as AM, so I'll be there a bit longer this year. Hard to complain when it's in the 30's here.

My first session was aNeil Gaiman roundtable -- standing room only, impressive for 8:30 am! -- and was the most engaging roundtables I've had to pleasure to see, much less participate in.
Panelists had a wide range of opinions on everything from pedagogy to academia. Very productive!

Ooo, I just got my first conference horror (funny!) story. After my presentation on how gender changed in Spec Fict., a guy came up to me.
"I hate to do this to you," he said, "but somebody in a conference from many years ago already did your topic!"
Er, WHAT? ... (1/2)

For those who were not lucky enough to grab one of the donated early copies from your ICFA luncheon table, you might like to know you can now get a copy for your own! It was such a treat to have Ann Leckie as an ICFA Guest of Honor this year at ICFA 47!
