I’m just doing some final packing and then the wife and I will be flying out to Atlanta to participate in Dragon*Con 2010. This is a gigantic science fiction convention, and we try to represent Astronomy Cast there every year. We’re going to be doing the first ever live show of Astronomy Cast where Pamela and I will actually be together in the same room. Epic!
So if you’re going to be attending Dragon*Con and want to hang out, I should be lurking around the science/skeptic area.
Here’s my schedule so far, but I suspect I’ll be strong-armed into several other panels.
