How to find yendi at Arisia

[yendi]

My Arisia schedule, 2009:

Friday, 6PM: We Want it on DVD! (moderating).

Saturday, 11AM: Misogyny in Comics -- One Year Later (moderating).

Saturday, 12:30 PM: SF Films to See Before Transcending this Plane (moderating).

Saturday, 2PM: Keeping the Faith: Changes in Your Comics.

Saturday, 3PM: The Big Fear: Genre Fiction as Social Commentary (moderating)

Saturday, 7PM: Warren Ellis: Genius, Madman, or Both?

Sunday, 5PM: The Power of Myth.

Sunday, 8PM: Too Many Chainsaws (moderating)

Sunday, 9PM: In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream (moderating).

The only other events that are absolutely on my calendar are shadesong's reading on Saturday (4:30PM), and mgrasso's Mage game on Sunday morning (9-Noon). Yes, I'll be playing in an RPG for the first time in over ten years (not counting one abortive D&D attempt in 2002).

Needless to say, if you see my on Saturday, I'm likely to be grumpy (grumpier, actually, as "grumpy" is my natural state). Five panels is a lot. By the time I'm at the Ellis panel, I might be in the same frame of mind as Spider Jerusalem. I have a love/hate relationship with moderating (based, naturally, on who I have to moderate, both on the panel and in the crowd), so the level of grumpiness could vary.

There are other nifty folks on these panels, too (including one with both Jeanne Cavelos and yuki_onna!).

As for panels (other than 'song's reading) that I'll attend, I don't know. Saturday is so fucking awful that I can't imagine I'll be able to deal with panels in my few free minutes. Sunday has some potential in the afternoon. I prefer to play things by ear, instead of sticking to a rigorous schedule. I'll certainly spend some time in the open gaming room, of course, and the green room and consuite.

Would love to see folks at the con. Please remember that I'm really faceblind, so if you're not wearing a name badge with your name (or your LJ name) clearly marked, the fact that we had a three-hour conversation and/or a wild sexual encounter involving a piñata, three grapefruits, and sugar-free Cool Whip two years ago won't necessarily be enough for me to remember you. So if I walk by you, or stare blankly at you when you shout my name, it's not you, it's me.

When are you going to fit in your candy toting admirers?

[ckd]

They had to get out. Their vaginas were haunted.

[unwilly.livejournal.com]

Damn that Jim Balent!

[hughcasey.livejournal.com]

Well, just remember, I look like THIS icon!

And I'll be yelling that your vagina is haunted.

;-P

[yendi]

I think everyone'll be yelling that.

[zarhooie.livejournal.com]

Please don't. Fandom already has a horrible reputation for protecting the rights of women. Even *insinuating* that a piece of a woman's gentalia might be haunted will cause trouble for those that don't know the source.

[hughcasey.livejournal.com]

OK, no yelling... just quietly mentioning to people in the know.

:-)

[zarhooie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And for the record, my vagina is not haunted. Well.. ok,maybe a little.

[ootwoods.livejournal.com]

Uhh.. isn't it up to the women to protect their rights? I'm confoosed...

(Personally, I've always found a steel toe to the yam bag to be a rather profound, and final, statement of "you are infringing, Sir")

If you meet a guy there named Rob Noyes, he's yet another old high school friend of mine.

Have fun!

Will there not have been bacon?

[yendi]

If there had been bacon, I would remember the person.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Hee.

You forgot about the monkey. Aww, look at that... He's sad now.

[yendi]

Poor sad monkey.

[ex-yakaveng.livejournal.com]

I think you need to make it up to him. Perhaps posting more entertaining film reviews? Or breaking into Klingon during one of your panels? Or just announcing your search for a girlfriend during one of the panels, and watching the ensuing chaos.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yes to all three, please!

[elionwyr.livejournal.com]

This will call for a webcam, you realize.
So we can play along at home.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

My camera has video. . .

I love Arisia. The people who don't want to be on a lot of panels are on a ton of them, and I, who would love to be on twice as many as I'm on, get too few. *chuckle*

[kradical.livejournal.com]

On the advice of my attorney, I won't be mentioning that in public, so you're off the hook.....

[yendi]

Heh. Yeah, and I had to ask them to cut some of mine (since they're still over the limit as I requested on the original form). They wanted me on three more to begin with.

[zarhooie.livejournal.com]

Please please please, at some point during the Ellis panel say that he's corrupting the nation's youth and he doesn't care because there's a whole ocean to cross before we can actually cause him harm. pleeeeeease.

Also, mention the multiple exploding head images on Whitechapel. My poor brain.

[warren-ellis.livejournal.com]

YOU KNOW, I'M STANDING RIGHT HERE

[zarhooie.livejournal.com]

...Well, that was unexpected.

Uhh..

[ootwoods.livejournal.com]

PWNT :)

Mad props Sir.

[ootwoods.livejournal.com]

Some of your work is kept in my "I actually want to re-read this someday, rather than bag it and hold it till it's worth more" collection.

Honor to "talk to" you here.

[kellirose1313.livejournal.com]

That was beautiful.

[amokk]

Warren Ellis reads yendi.

Wow. My sense of how the world works just exploded.

[yendi]

More likely, "Warren Ellis has a Google Alert set up for his own name to see when folks are saying shit about him."

[amokk]

But that would make him some sort of egomania...

Right, right. Carry on.
