Here are the panels I'll be involved in at FiestaCon, which will be held in Tempe, Arizona, July 2-5. I don't know yet when exactly they'll occur during the con.
This should be interesting. First, I've never been on a con's panel, aside from a public interview of CJ Cherryh at Toronto's Ad Astra in 1987(?). Second, you will notice that, in two of those events, I'll be all by myself in front of all those people. Mind you, 'all those people' may wind up being just me and crickets chirping in the corners. Third, for the steampunk-movie event, I decided to put together a slide show that I'd run off my laptop and onto a projector. The fact that I've never done either of these things isn't stopping me. So much for not thinking of myself as the adventurous type.
I may also wind up being on a panel about Steampunk Literature, but that hasn't been confirmed yet.
A glutton for embarassment, me?

STEAMPUNK MOVIES: A light discussion of the history of steampunk in Hollywood. An obvious one is “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”, but how many others can you name and how do they compare? What stories would adapt well to film that you’d like to see on the big screen?

COMICBOOKS TO THE BIG SCREEN: What are the particular difficulties of adapting them to film? The first X-Men movie went for the essence of the characters, if not their specifics. Some fans would have liked the “Watchmen” movie to have adhered more closely to the original book.

PUN-FIGHT AT THE ADD CORRAL: For this outlaw gang, a battle of wits is a form of unarmed combat. Take a holiday, doc, and join us for an hour of free-flowing and completely unfocused wordplay. It's enough to make you earp…
