I'll be attending CONVergence this year for the first time; however, since I've got a family thing out of town on Saturday and all my panels fall on Sunday, I won't be around until then. The only places you will find me for sure are:

Anthologies
July 4, 2010 9:30AM - 10:30AM @ Bloomington

The best way to learn about new authors without committing yourself to a magnum opus. Discuss some of the best anthology publications of the 21st century.

Speaker/Artist(s) R. Scott McCoy, Kelly Strait, Doug Texter, Michael Levy, David Schwartz

Top Ten Comics
July 4, 2010 11:00AM - 12:00PM @ Atrium 2

Top ten comic stories you should read before you die. Will our panel and audience be able to come up with a definitive list? If so, the list will be published on the CONvergence website following the convention.

Speaker/Artist(s) Mark Goldberg, Abby Lehrke, Kevin Horner, David Schwartz

Carl Jung's Archetypes of the Subconscious
July 4, 2010 12:30PM - 1:30PM @ Bloomington

Exploring Jung's work as a basis for Character and story development.

Speaker/Artist(s) John Shea (mod), Veronica Cummer, David Schwartz, Terry Faust

I expect that second one will be a lot of fun, and of the three the last seems most likely to be a trainwreck. But ya never know. Hope to see some of you there!

Check it.

Title: League of Substitute Heros

Saturday, 1:00-2:15 P.M.

Fair Trade (Coffee shop owned by the same folks as Michelangelo's, but a couple of blocks further down State Street. I dare to guarantee you that it will be worth the trip. And hey, you can come by even if you're not going to the con itself!)

David Schwartz
Meghan McCarron
David Moles
Alice Kim


Title: Does It Have to Get Boring Before it Gets Good?

Do you suffer from zombie fatigue? Are you getting superbored with superheroes? Excellent books like World War Z and Soon I Will Be Invincible seem to be the exception to the rule of endless zombie and superpowered crap being produced -- but are they? Or does there have to be a pop culture saturation of a certain kind of genre--a laying of the groundwork--before we can get the kind of detailed and finessed dissection and resurrection of tropes that these books pull off?

Saturday, 4:00-5:15 P.M.

Assembly

M: Liz Gorinsky
Jim Munroe
David Schwartz
Nicole Bunge
Ellen Datlow

I think there are obvious reasons why I am on this panel. Number one being: To Make a Fool of Myself.
