My First Time Speaking At A Panel for Conjecture/ Conchord25th!

A week from today on October 18th I will speak at my very first panel at the  Conjecture/Conchord25  at the Town and Country Resort here in San Diego. I am so exited I will be speaking at 4 panels and I will have an autograph session on Sunday at my table in the dealer’s room for  my book Fantasy Time Inc.  So if your near by on October 18th to 20th 2013, please come and support me.

Below are the panels I am taking part in, please check out the website; http://2013.conjecture.org/

Panel 1: Fri 10/18 8:00 PM, 60 minutes.

Title: A Degree in Geekdom

Participants: Amy Berner

Nancy Holder

Dru Pagliassotti(M)

Sherri Rabinowitz

Martin Young

Precis: Academic study of popular culture is now widespread. What makes a genre work suitable for academic study? (Consider Whoosh, the journal of the International Association of Xena Studies. Or Slayage, the Online International Journal of Buffy Studies. Smart Pop Press has been publishing anthologies of essays on everything from Stargate to Star Wars, but they’re not alone. Robert Chaires and Bradley Chilton, authors of Star Trek: Visions of Law and Justice from Texas A&M University Press, have declared “To say that Star Trek was just a television show is akin to saying Shakespeare just wrote plays.” Also, the Popular Culture Association studies the rhetoric of pop culture.)

Panel 2: Sat 10/19 4:00 PM, 60 minutes.

Title: Can’t Stop the Signal: Communications Tech

Participants: Kim Hutsell

Dani Kollin(M)

Larry Niven

Sherri Rabinowitz

Eric Rand

Precis: While it’s rarely the focus of the story, the plot device of getting word from point A to point B (sometimes through hostile territory, or in a way that doesn’t expose more Bothans to death than absolutely necessary) is frequently an essential aspect of the narrative. What kind of features–or limitations–are assumed by authors when the plot needs a signal to get through (or fail to do so)?

Panel 3: Sat 10/19 6:00 PM, 60 minutes.

Title: Dreams of Space Lost

Participants: Sherri Rabinowitz

Gary Westfahl

Gerry Williams

Janine Young

Precis: Going to the moon was once fantasy, then reality, then history… and is now sliding into legend, as it looks like we may never go back. Science fictional dreams of colonizing other worlds are looking more like fantasy as we face the incredibly difficult and expensive problems of protecting fragile meat bodies from vacuum and radiation. Our machines may go where we cannot, but how can we handle the loss of our dreams?

Panel 4: Sun 10/20 12 Noon, 60 minutes.

Title: Turning Fandom Into Fame

Participants: Brian Bielawski

Eben Brooks

Sue Dawe

Neal Hallford

Sherri Rabinowitz

Precis: When someone asks “What was your inspiration for your art?” you don’t always expect the answer “Geek Love!” But in this era where anyone with a blog can become just as powerful as the mainstream press, and anyone with a YouTube channel can be a celebrity, finding your audience can be as simple as “liking” the Star Wars page on Facebook. This panel seeks to look at this phenomenon, where geek obsession fuels, inspires, and enables artistic creation.

It’s going to be very big weekend for more information please check out the convention website; http://2013.conjecture.org/
