Coming to Lumos?

[pegkerr]

Are you planning to come to Lumos? If you are and you'd like to meet me and/or Rob, leave me a comment. We are not staying at the hotel, but we plan to arrive early and leave late every day. We will be in Vegas Wednesday through the following Monday (longer than I would like, but we are going there to support the HPEF board of directors--Rob's a member, and I'm an advisory). I will be delivering a paper of my own 1:30 - 1:55 p.m. on Saturday ("A Shining Silver Thread: Memory and Identity in the Harry Potter Novels"), and I'll serve as the moderator on the HP/Tolkien panel ("On Hobbits and Wizards: Comparing the Magical Realms of Middle-Earth and Hogwarts") from 4:00 - 4:50. Dammit, blpurdom, that one is scheduled opposite your paper. And opposite Steve Vander Ark's presentation, too.

I'd love to finally meet you at Lumos! Hopefully we'll connect at some point.

Yes, I'm also bummed that not one but TWO other board people have their presentations scheduled at the same time as my paper. Oy.

Worse yet...

Actually, it's worse than that because the panel on running your own HPEF events with Gwen, Debbie D. Debbie McC., and Bekki O. is still running during your mutual time frame. It's pretty much HPEF On Display Hour at Lumos. I'll probably be attending the con running one, myself. Too many good options for the hour, a sure sign of a well programmed convention.

Looking forward to seeing you both!

I will be in on Wed as well and have loose plans for dinner with some of the Lexicon staff that night. If you want to join, let me know.

Yes, we would like to join you! I will try calling later today.
