DragonCon Contacts, Connections, and General Info
Posted on | 2 years, 5 months ago, in the evening | 2 Comments
So! It’s that time of year again — and tomorrow morning at the very narrow ass-crack of dawn I’ll be flying out for Atlanta.* But first, some announcements:
Although I won’t be updating this page in my absence, you’ll be able to find me here on Twitter. Expect pictures, tweets, ramblings, and lunacy.
As of this morning, I look a little different. I’m calling this my “Arkham Asylum” hair – and it comes courtesy of the amazing Judy Yoon at Salon Ciba on Capital Hill in Seattle. I ain’t gonna lie. I feel like a rock star.
To those of you who are interested in such things, theClockworkCentury has been updated with a handy-dandy map of 1879 Seattle. Well, it’s my version of Seattle in 1879, complete with a wrap-around wall to hold the zombies and the poisonous gas inside.
And now, please allow me to enable any of your stalking tendencies by providing my DragonCon schedule. Barring unforeseen catastrophe, this is where and when and why you’ll be able to catch me over the weekend:

Thanks so much for following along with my adventures!

* Note to those who wonder and/or potential robbers: We have a pair of cat-sitters hanging about. The place is not empty in our absence.

Thanks tremendously! And by all means. :)
(Though I have to turn around and go to Portland right after I get back from DragonCon, practically. But we’ll hook something up!)
