Context 21 is September 26-28 in Columbus, Ohio. I’ve very excited to be going. I’ve only been to one other con, Conglom here in Louisville, and that was pretty much for a few hours to meet Jason Sizemore and Alethea Kontis. (I’ve never been the same since.)
The programming schedule is starting to take form so here’s my preliminary plan for where I’ll be when. Presuming that Mrs. Kuhn and I arrive before festivities begin. (Subject to change as more readings and such are listed.)

I have a list of people I’d like to meet too, so if you find yourself on this list please point yourself out to me because I am absolutely horrible at putting names and faces together (and I’ll get the warm squishies by knowing you read my blog): Fran Friel, Maurice Broaddus (again), Brian Keene, Paula Guran (because I have to squee about how awesome the Juno covers are), Jason Sizemore (I have something for you to sign sir, no, I swear it’s not check…), Gary Braunbeck, Michael Knost, Alethea Kontis (who wouldn’t want to meet her again? Of course, who can manage to actually say something pity or amusing instead of just standing there drooling?), Debbie Kuhn (who I better meet because she’s promised me a ride), Lucy A. Snyder… and Kealan Patrick Burke, who will make me cry if he can’t make it.
you have no proof that i read your blog
Nope. None at all. Certainly none printed or saved or whatnot.
