My ArmadilloCon Schedule

This year, they are apparently taking it easy on me, but that doesn't mean I won't give YOU, the faithful attendees of Austin's premier literary SF convention, the full meal deal at all of my various and sundry engagements. See below for a list of where I'll be, and when. Stalking is encouraged. Autographs and photo opportunities abound. Please, no groping.
