Thread: Madcon 2010

  1. Default Madcon 2010

    September 24-26 in Madison Wisconsin. The line-up of guests will blow your mind (as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to be there). Harlan Ellison, in what he claims will be his last ever convention appearance; Peter David; Gene Wolfe; Pat Rothfuss. (I get to be on a panel with the latter two!) Allen Steele. Jim Frenkel (editor Tor books). John Krewson (of The Onion). Lisa Snellings (artist). Peri Charlifu (artist).

    Howard von Darkmoor worked out his schedule so he can be there. Here's hoping we see some more friendly faces from SFReader there!

    Here's the convention website: http://www.madcon2010.com/

    Did I mention I'm on a panel with Gene Wolfe and Pat Rothfuss? And GENE WOLFE? Here's my feeling about that:

    Glad to be going along for your ride, Nicholas

    Gene Wolfe is a great person to just sit and listen to. I told him he should just videotape himself talking about anything and everything and people would buy the DVDs. I sure would.

    Wolfe can be very, very tetchy, though. I'm sure you'll do fine with him, though.

    I hadn't heard that, H.P. It should be interesting!

    The panel I was on at 2007 WFC, "Tolkien's Horror Aesthetic" or something like that--which focused on elements of horror in LOTR--featured a famous Tolkien scholar whom I was surprised to discover just before the panel started was PISSED about the panel. From his point of view, the whole topic was ludicrous. Made me wonder why he agreed to be on it?
