julieandrewsTwo posts in one day! I know!
But I'm looking at the Readercon Schedule and I thought I'd tell y'all what looked interesting to me.
I just had a moment of 'oh crap, I haven't read anything by Charles Stross'. I have like 1 day to rectify this.
"The Kaffeeklatsches are in Vineyard." - What the heck is Vineyard? Is that the hotel restaurant?
Looks like they've made efforts to be more accessible. That's good. Maybe that's why the kaffeeklatsches aren't on the 6th floor or whatever floor they were on before.
"Imagine or Die" looks interesting.
Perhaps the voice workshop.
I really want to go to "Ask a Blind Person"
Which is OF COURSE scheduled opposite the Ellen Datlow kaffeeklatsch.
Do I dare attend the Samuel Delany kaffeeklatsch after attending his reading last year?
The one on libraries could be interesting
Eep, my name's on the Broad Universe RFR.
I'd like to go to the John Joseph Adams kaffeeklatsch.
Oh, hey, there's a Clarion 2009 group reading. I'll see if I can go to that. Oh, but it's opposite N. K. Jemisin's kaffeeklatsch! Though I could go to her talk instead.
I'd also like to go to gender and sexuality in science fiction.
So, argh! While there are plenty of things I'm not the least bit interested in, they still managed to schedule cool stuff opposite each other.

Charles Stross gave us an excerpt from his forthcoming book to print in the Souvenir Book. It's great. I proof-read it by reading it aloud and at least once I had to stop because I was laughing so hard. (no spoilers! :-) ) So, if you haven't read anything else of his before the convention, read the Souvenir Book! We have a story by Nalo Hopkinson, too.
I'm on a panel on Sunday called "Racial Diversity and Cover Art" that promises to be interesting.
Readercon has no choice about scheduling cool stuff at the same time. It's all cool. ;-)
