It’s Sunday, just before Thanksgiving and the start of the 51st Loscon!
Loscon is a science fiction and fantasy convention taking place in Los Angels, starting on Black Friday and going through to Sunday. This year, the theme is “Tell Me a Story” and the guests of honor are:
- Writer — Ursula Vernon/T. Kingfisher
- Arts — Benton Jew
- Music — Lynn Gold
- Fan — Tadao Tomomatsu
This will be the second year I’ve attended. Melissa and I had a really great time last year. This year, our daughter Bryanna will be joining us.
Here is my schedule:
| Name | Date | Time | Location |
| Autograph Session | 29 November | 11:30AM – 12:45PM | Dealer’s Room |
| Sci-Fi Crime Stories | 29 November | 1:00PM – 2:15PM | Newport C |
| Time Travel | 29 November | 4:00PM – 5:15PM | Newport C |
| AI & Science Fiction (M) | 30 November | 11:30AM – 12:45PM | Newport A |
| The Post-Scarcity Society | 30 November | 1:00PM – 2:15PM | Carmel |
| Spirituality in SFF | 30 November | 2:30PM – 3:45PM | Catalina B |
Like last year, we’ll be taking the train down, traveling during Thanksgiving. The train doesn’t go all the way to LA, so it’s bus from Bakersfield, then Uber to the hotel.
When I’m not on panels, I’ll be in the Dealer’s Room, attending the Water Dragon and Small Publishing in a Big Universe tables.
We fly back on December 1st, and hopefully I’ll be able to spend part of that Monday recovering at home.
If you’re in LA, stop by! The event is held at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport.
