Appearance Schedule Updated: Now Adding Chicago and London (Plus News About Detroit)
Posted on January 30, 2014 Posted by John Scalzi 16 Comments
For everyone who wants to see me stroll about as like a mortal, two confirmed public appearances to tell you about:
1. April 25-27, I will be in Chicago for C2E2, the city’s big comic con-like event. I am not yet listed on the site, but my publicist tells me I’m confirmed, and why would my publicist lie to me? She would not. Because she’s not like that. She is awesome.
2. August 14 – 18, I will be at Loncon 3, also known as this year’s Worldcon, being very relaxed about the whole Hugo thing for once.
Also, with regard to Detcon 1, which was already on my schedule for July, let me break out a bit of news via Twitter:
BREAKING NEWS: Legendary DJ @scalzi will be hosting an 80s-themed dance at #Detcon1. Break out the leg warmers and Members Only jackets!

Yup. It will be fun. I give good 80s, if I say so myself.
I have a couple more events that I have agreed to but which I have not gotten complete confirmation on for May and early June; I will let you know about them when/if I get clearance.
For my full 2014 schedule (to date), see my Scheduled Appearances page. It’s always there, and usually up to date.
“For everyone who wants to see me stroll about as like a mortal…”
No! To gaze upon your visage is to go mad! You are Dionysus, and we your Maenads.
I’m going to be in Chicago the following week. I guess I’ll see you next time you’re at the Bradford library.
I think we need videos detailing the difference between mortal and immortal strolling.
Loncon – I will be looking foward to that. I would gladly buy you a beer and shake your hand. I spent last August at Excel filming gun fights and motorcycle chases in their underground car park for a movie. It’s a great place.
You need a serious DJ name (assuming you don’t have one already and I missed it). How about
MC 900 foot Coke-Zero
DJ Fuzzy Nation
IJ UJ We all J for DJ
DJ Mallet
No! To gaze upon your visage is to go mad! You are Dionysus, and we your Maenads.
Note – when describing oneself as having the body of a Greek God, ensure Dionysus is not the god you have in mind…
Sweet! I was considering skipping C2E2 to head to Ebertfest this year in Champaign, but I think this has coaxed me in the other direction. Any idea/hints of panels you might be on?
Besides C2E2, will you actually visit Chicago?
If you’re asking if I’m going to sightsee, probably not, since I travel to Chicago frequently. I will probably get out into the city once or twice to see friends. I am unlikely to do any public events outside of C2E2.
Loncon 3 – 115 £? WTF? London is an expensive city, sure, but I’ll pass, thanks.
Sounds like fun! I very seldom ever get to wear my leg warmers and Members Only jacket at the same time anymore.
An 80s dance party? Welp. Now I need an 80s-connected costume–and one that can be danced in, at that.
*Digs through old comic books*
This will require hair spray.
Going to be in London for any extra time, or just for LonCon? And would you appreciate tips for things to see?
Do you ever go near the west coast? More specifically Seattle or Portland?
Damian: This is where looking at the Scheduled Appearances page would be relevant.
Well would you look at that.. You one of those pages. You know in the three years I’ve followed you blog I did not know that was there. Thank you for the referral.
