*looks up program*

1. Runs away screaming from amount of programming you're on, as I wont.
2. My, that's some focus on few panelists each doing lots of panels. I'm used to the opposite approach.
3. That's a lot of panels on writing.
4. Is that Pamela Sargent?!? Why isn't she on ALL THE PANELS?!?
5. Say hi to Debi Chowdhury from me, if you get the chance. We worked together on the Helsinki Worldcon.

My feeling is that if I'm going to a convention it's my job to do as much as I can. Wandering around the convention by itself doesn't accomplish much.

Heh. I want the guests of honours and similar folks to be able to walk around, enjoy the con, and socialise a bit.

And I enjoy being able to realise I'm sitting with George RR Martin in the table next over in the bar, while having a nice discussion with some other fen.

(Back at Worldcon in Helsinki, we had an informal limit of five items total, excluding readings and signings, for most programme participants.)

I dunno about this whole "socialize" idea. That might mean I have to interact with people.

[kjn]

Yeah, that can be an issue :-)

I was the Swedish NoFF delegate to Finncon this year (think TAFF but within the Nordic countries), and definitely went outside of my comfort zone in socialising and seeking out new people. Even if the Finns are even more introvert than us Swedes.
