Geek Girl Con at the Seattle Conference Center (Across the Street from the Convention Center)
My presentation:
Monster Brides, Robots, Superheroines, and Anime Girls: Geek Girl Poets!
What do monster brides, robots, comic book superheroines, and anime girls have in common? Poetry! These geeky awesome Northwest poets celebrate the women of the pop culture fringes in their work. They will read some poetry, discuss the inspirations for their work, and point readers towards exploration of even more geeky girl poets!
Lana Ayers and Jeannine Hall Gailey (Tiffany Midge had to cancel)
Sunday Room 204 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM (Yes, it’s early. Bring coffee!)
University Bookstore Table Signing, in case you want to ask questions or talk or get a copy of one of my books signed – 1:45 PM – 2:30 PM
I’ll also be wondering around the vendor area after my presentation, probably buying comics and various geeky wonderful trinket-type things.
I’ll try to post about the Con tomorrow night…wish us luck!
