So, this is where to find me at Geek Girl Con this Saturday:
10:30-10:50 Media Signing, next to the UW Bookstore table. I will be very tired, because this is before my “awake” time, but happy to see you nonetheless. (Then, I will go home and nap before…)
Some pics from our morning adventures:
Two Geek Girl Poets (Kelly Davio and Jeannine Hall Gailey)
Jeannine with Amber Benson (Tara from Buffy and YA/comic author)
Three Panelists
Me with Boba Fett
8 PM: Rm 301 for Girl Geek Poetry: Geeks for Poetry, Poetry for Geeks. We’ll talk about the female writers and Barbie, Poison Ivy, River Tam, and scientific phenomenon, and also where and how to publish your own geeky poetry. Panelists include poet, editor and reviewer Kelly Davio and Hello the Future’s Nicole Dieker (um, the program – er, strategy guide – is deeply wrong about the names of the panelists. But these are the actual ones who will be there with me, so trust me on this.)
Geek Girl Con is a wonderful Seattle phenomenon, now in its third year, and I am very happy to be a part of it. Where else in the world can you go and be part of a huge throng of girls (not strippers paid to dress up!) in the costumes of Xena, Katniss, Buffy, and talk about video game strategy, programming, bioethics, fandoms of all sorts, and things like, yes, superhero poetry?
