Armadillocon 32 schedule

It's Armadillocon 32 weekend, and has been happening with alarming frequency of late, I have conflicts. Therefore I will not be in attendance tonight, when events kick into high gear with the traditional Friday night soiree. This is getting old, I assure you. Nevertheless, unless there are other obligations afoot of which I am currently unawares, I will be there Saturday and Sunday. Below is my schedule. Stop by and chat a bit if you're so inclined.
