SO! We’re out at Worldcon. I’ve already run into fellow TIPster Betsy Miller, author Clara Ward, and several other folks who either knew me or I knew them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today and tomorrow I am volunteering at the Clockwork Alchemy \/ Milford Workshop joint table! Compared to the GeekGirlCon and LARP booths around us, our table display is a little underwhelming as a lot of the Milford and Clockwork contingent either couldn’t make it or were delayed. So we just have the brochures and stands I could fit in my suitcase, which was a fair trick as I brought 30 books to the Book Nook!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll be signing there today at 3pm. Then on Saturday at 11, I’ll be in Room 320 presenting on “The Cognitive Science of Scenes and Sequels,” joint work with my colleague Kenneth Moorman of Transylvania University. The poster session will be from 12-1 on the fourth floor Paramount Lounge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope to see you there! You’d appear somewhere in the image below …<\/p>\n\n\n\n
