Posted by Jared | Posted in Appearences | Posted on 16-11-2009
PhilCon ‘09 is this weekend. And you know I’m ready for it.
My schedule for the con is as follows:
Sat 12:00 PM in Plaza II (Two): STEAMPUNK FOR SIMPLETONS
[Panelists: Jared Axelrod (mod), Matt Black, Nikki Cohen, Christine Norris, Jeff Mach]
Ladies and Gentlemen of stern and noble character are invited to participate in a salon whereupon we shall discuss the genre and lifestyle known to the rabble as “steampunk”. What is it, where did it come from, and what is with those brass goggles
Sat 4:00 PM in Plaza III (Three) PULPED!
[Panelists: Michael J. Walsh (mod), C.J. Henderson, Jared Axelrod, James Daniel Ross, Eric Avedissian]
What do we mean by pulp fiction? Is it a synonym for trash or does it represent a vigorous type of popular fiction that continues to appeal? If someone calls your book “”pulp”", is that an insult or a compliment
Sun 1:00 PM in Plaza V (Five) EAT RIGHT, EXERCISE, DIE ANYWAY… HEALTHY LIVING FOR FANS
[Panelists: James Prego (mod), Alyce Wilson, Jared Axelrod]
In general, fans tend to be a rather… sedentary… group. What simple things can we do to improve our health and life a better life
Sun 2:00 PM in Executive Suite 823 MICROFICTION: THE NEXT BIG THING?
[Panelists: Nathan Lilly (mod), Michael Swanwick, Ef Deal, Dina Leacock, Jared Axelrod]
A number of magazines have opened dedicated to the art of the quick-fic. Pros and cons of flash fiction (under 1,000 words), nanofiction (under 40 words), and Twitter fiction (under 140 characters)
Hope to see you there.
