As previously advertised, there's going to be a science fiction convention in High Point, North Carolina from Friday March 13 through Sunday March 15. Holy Cow! That's this coming weekend! It's going to be a fun time -- Mr. Miller and I will be there as Literary Guests of Honor; William Stout as Artist Guest of Honor; and John Wick as Gaming Guest of Honor (Uncle Timmy, the Fan Guest of Honor will not be able to attend, due to the need to recover from surgery -- everybody think Good Thoughts for his quick and complete recovery, please).

In addition to the honored guests, there will be a bunch of interesting folks doing panels, and talking about science fiction and fantasy, among them the ever-amiable Ms. Lee Martindale, the erudite Mr. Alan Wold, and the shy and retiring Mr. John Ringo.

Steve and I have just this morning received our schedule, reproduced below for your reading pleasure.

I am curious -- let me know if anything interesting comes out of the "losing male readers" discussion.

It made me think, seeing women in the SF section use to be a rarity – not so much anymore.

Yes indeed, that sounds like an interesting discussion. And so does the Space Opera talk you're giving. If you should happen to have the time and the inclination to share your thoughts here in the blog, I'm sure your readers who can't make it to NC this weekend would be interested!
