Picocon

[baratron]

It's Picocon on Saturday. I seem to have not been in a few years, owing to various $stuff and things (working on Saturdays, illness, and apathy), but I'm actually quite interested in this year's guests. They are Cory Doctorow (who I didn't realise had anything to do with Boing Boing until recently), Liz Williams (the one who isn't lizw) and some bloke called Paul Cornell who writes Doctor Who episodes.

Anyone else interested/going? As ever, it is hosted by icsf in the shiny grounds of Imperial College, London. I really want to see the new library (in the fourth different location since the library I Knew And Loved. Although I was still at college for two of the others).

And why don't I have a "science fiction" tag already? Or should I just tag this "science" AND "fiction"? Hrm.

Any idea what cory's going to be talking about ? Curiously I knew his name from issues of bOINGbOING long before discovering he had other geek credentials. Though I've only ever seen him talk about the geeky sciencey predictions thing rather than his writing.

The website. Let me show you it. (Link was in the original post ;) ).

Oh yes, I'm not so very good with these computers and stuff you know. Turns out I'm not even free on saturday after all, ho hum. Does sound like futurism may well come off badly from the panel debate. More of a shame I won't be able to off-hand fish (I'd be shocked if this WoWism hasn't infected the event long, long ago).

I and some of my attached tree will be there, possibly with fishproof garments.
