NorWesCon Schedule!
🕑 Added 2025-04-17 20:26:05 +0000 UTCMany times at conventions, people have asked me to post my con schedule on Patreon so it's easy to know where to find me, and I ALWAYS say "Oh that's such a good idea, I totally will next time!"
And then I fully ADHD that into the sun and forget next time.
BUT HUMANS CAN GROW. I AM DOING THE THING.
I'm Guest of Honor at NorWesCon this year, in my hometown of Seattle! Here is what I will be doing and where I will be!
Note: Bastian is here with me, lord help us all with a hyper 6 year old, but will not always be where I am. Please be kind to my small tasmanian devil if and when you meet them!

I won't be in Seattle, but just looking at this schedule is very exciting! Does "QI - ETs" mean that this panel will be run like an episode of QI with a theme of Exrtra Terrestrials?!
