I was wondering if you know what day or days you will be at this year?

Thanks
Brian

Thanks, Jan.   I look forward to reading your transcript of things
afterwards!   Some one else give the Joe the harrasing questions on
Lensmen, please... ;-)

BTW, does anyone know if you can still give at the blood drive if you
are not attending comic-con?  I could always drive down one morning
just to give...

Charlie

You're on-the-spot reporter will have her trusty recorder at the ready!

If you haven't heard it yet, JMS gave a cool description of one small scene from
the movie on the Babylon Podcast.  I'm not sure if it was part one or part two
but I think it was part one.

I can find out for you if you like. The sign-up booth is in the Sails Pavillion
near the freebie tables, IIRC.

No, I will email them as things get closer.  usually blood drives are
open, but want to make sure!

Gotta do my thing for Bob!

For those coming to the convention, be advised that at this point I
only have one -- count 'em, one -- autograph session set up, at table
AA 2 at 6:00 Saturday, right after my spotlight.

I'm only going to have an hour, so I'm going to have to be really
strict in enforcing the ten-item limit to make sure that everybody in
line gets a fair chance.
