Is anyone planning on going to Balticon next week? Gene Wolfe and Neil Gaiman are GOHs. I'm trying to figure out how many of his books I can carry on the plane to get signed. :) Rob

From the program on the website www.balticon.org it looks as though Mr. Wolfe is only scheduled for a panel on sunday morning at 11am. My guess is he doesn't do much milling around and hanging out at cons these days, so that's probably the time to see him. I guess he'll be going to saturday morning mass that weekend...

Actually, it looks to I like Mr. Wolfe will be at three seperate events, and may even be around for annoying questions all weekend. SATURDAY: 3:30 pm Special GoH: Gene Wolfe (introduced by Lisa Snellings-Clark) SUNDAY: 11:00 am Neil Gaiman/Gene Wolfe Panel MONDAY: 1:00 pm Gene Wolfe Kaffeklatsch (??? Some kind of of coffehour? Hopefully!) I live in the area, so if any participants want info about lovely suburban B-more, want to send me annoying questions to pose to the man, or just want to say hi to other list lurkers give me a holler. Best, --peter

Sweet! Looks like new stuff has been added. I expect I am going to basically wander up to Mr Wolfe and kind of stammer until someone more lugubrious steps in and starts talking to him, because that's always how I am when I meet people I idolize.

I did that when Mr. Wolfe was at Readercon a few years ago. I asked him to sign a few books and then completely blanked, ears ringings, mouth dry. My wife confirmed I looked like a slack-jawed idiot. Hopefully, I will do better this time around. Rob
