Less than five weeks to Eastercon now. Anybody going?

The provisional programme has me doing a talk called "Iain Banks before The Wasp Factory" on the morning of Sunday April 4.

[Deep Black]

Sadly no.

Can we have a transcript of the talk though?

[Tangendentalism]

I'm going! Excited and terrified in equal measure. It's my first con and I'm not involved in any panels or anything, but just being in the same building as the person I'm writing my thesis about is enough to have my hiding under the coffee table.
Your talk sounds great daveh; I'll look forward to it.

[daveh]

My talk is now Friday 2nd April at 13:00. I will try and record it and podcast it as transcribing it will be too much work.

[Tangendentalism]

I am also, (although how this has come to be is still a mystery to me) now going to be on a panel. It's Language and Dialect in Writing on Monday 5th from 11-12am with Gary Couzens and TMH!

[Deep Black]

Wow, 2 weeks from watching panels to being on one with The Man Himself.

Fast work Tang

[Tangendentalism]

I know! It's my first convention and I haven't a clue how I came to be invited to be on the panel. I spent a good ten minutes just staring at the wall in incomprehension when I got the email. They asked me to be on the panel and I accepted without knowing that TMH was going to be on it also. Then they emailed back and said could I make sure I read a couple of his books beforehand as he's on the panel. Hahahaha, not going to be a problem.

[Deep Black]

Will they make him read any of your work first too?

[Tangendentalism]

Hahaha, that would be awesome!
