Eastercon 2010

[mirrorshard]

mirabehn and I will be at Odyssey 2010, staying in the convention hotel. I'm presenting a talk at 5pm on Sunday, on "Information Decay and Archiving", looking at (among other things) the ways information tries to escape, and the tradeoffs involved. It's clashing with a couple of things I would have wanted to go to, but that's always the way...

The draft programme is up here, thanks to watervole.

Who else will we see there?

IIRC, the only people who get free memberships for any reason are the GOHs ;)

That's the mark of a good con: more things scheduled than you have time to attend! Have people been discussing a time/place for blogger meeting-up?

I've never been an Eastercon so I had no idea what to expect in terms of programming, and to be honest the website wasn't exactly leaving me intrigued. But the panel list is fantastic! It seems a lot more like a small fan run convention, instead of the biggest one in the UK (right?).

I haven't been on Twitter in a week (am I really that unnoticable ;-) as I'm trying to cut down on my typing to try and lessen the pain in my hands, and once I actually look at it I'll want to stay and talk to people for 24 hours straight. So I don't know if anything's been decided yet. I hope not, I'd like to try and convince people to go on friday instead....*grins*

There's nearly 1100 members on the list at the moment, and I'd expect to end up with 1250-1300 in the end. It's certainly fan run - the fannishness of the organizers has been thoroughly verified ;) And yes, it's the biggest in the UK AFAIK.

Re: pain in the hands - if you haven't already, fix your ergonomics! I did that (getting proper wrist support) at Cranfield, and it made a huge difference to me.
