Armadillocon ho!

Armadillocon starts tomorrow, and I'll be right there in the mix of things. Friday I'm participating as once of the sadistic torturers instructors in the long-running writer's workshop, which is always stimulating and entertaining. I'm also co-hosting the Charity Auction with Mark Finn, which promises no end to the shenanigans. The rest of my weekend schedule is as follows:
