This is always a favorite weekend every year. Talking to old friends and making new ones, discovering new things to read/watch/play, moderating interesting panels with delightful people, and just spending three days surrounded by welcoming fun community.

If you’re in Denver and coming to the con, here’s where you can find me:

• Fri 3p: Geek Parents Unite
• Fri 7p: Sports in SF&F/Horror
• Sat 11a: Pre-Hays Code Western Movies
• Sat 2p: Ways to Introduce Kids to Science in Your Own Home
• Sun 11a: In Defense of Popcorn Media

And a very good morning to you
