Today’s my busiest day at the con with events going through 9pm, so don’t expect to see too much of me around here today. Will sneak in at some point for a short Thanksgiving Advent Calendar piece. May be rather later in the day. Don’t panic.

Oh, crap. Now I’m already panicking.
Who currently holds the record that Harlan had set, doing 18 events at one con?
Probably Harlan!
I’ve never done more than 8 events at any one con; of the 300+ panels I’ve done (moderating about 1/3). But once a co-author and I went to back-to-back-to back academic conferences, shared hotel/motel/dorm rooms, and presented 17 co-authored papers between us (and his grad students and postdocs in various permutations). Utterly brain dead by the time we got back to our respective East Coast and West Coast homes.
Of course I won’t panic; I know where my towel is. *grin*
