doxacon – Moe Lane

Ken Hite’s ‘The Man Who Shot Joseph Curwin’ podcast.

The panels I attended at DoxaCon were quite fun, and this one in particular was entertaining. Direct link here.

Oh. Doxacon was a good time.

Had a different table setup, this time.

Off to DoxaCon!

I’m up early, yes. The way traffic is where I’m going, even on a Saturday morning, ’tis advisable. I don’t know my Internet situation there, so maybe I’ll be posting – and maybe I won’t.

See you later!

I’m selling books at it, sure — but DoxaCon is interesting because I’m looking forward to going to a couple of the panels. I’d still be going if I wasn’t selling books, honestly. Not that I’ll mind if I sell a bunch of books there…

The DoxaCon schedule is up!

And can be found here. Of most interest to me:

9:30–10:30am — Lay Keynote – Fantasy Fiction Through a Catholic Lens (Tim Powers)
2:00pm — The Man Who Shot Joseph Curwen (Kenneth Hite)

Well, there’s also the 3:20 panel, but I am doing vending at the convention. I need to be actually sitting at the table if I want to sell any books. Especially since it looks like vending only takes place the one day (Saturday, November 4). I think I will be taking a minimalist approach for this one: I shouldn’t bring too many books, and probably should just stick to a display that can be easily put together and taken apart. Something to think about.

Hrm. That dinner. Is that something I need to dress for? I’m not entirely sure of all the social, heh, conventions…

I will be vending at Doxacon!

I sent over e-copies of FROZEN DREAMS and TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION to the Doxacon organizers, and they decided it’d be alright for me to vend there. It’ll be on November 3rd and 4th in Arlington, VA, will feature Tim Powers and Ken Hite, and will offer other programming involving the intersections of religion, faith, and fantasy/science fiction. I am looking forward to it; the convention promises to be pretty neat-o, and it’s close. I mean, traffic will be maddening, but it’s only for a couple of days.

Well, I’m definitely going to Doxacon…

…I’m just now working out whether or not I’ll be vending at Doxacon. While at least some of the programming is obviously of interest to me, and I’ve never been hostile about religion in my writing, I don’t write Christian fantasy or science fiction. I was forthright about this with the people running the convention, because I’d much rather have a polite and rancor-free ‘No’ going in. We’ll see.

Ken Hite and Tim Powers at Doxacon.

I am thinking about this. I am thinking about this real hard.

Myself and the one and only TIM POWERS are speaking @DoxaconPrime in Arlington VA November 3-4 should that intrigue you as indeed it should https://t.co/WtoIAh4Eq1

Doxacon is a faith and fandom convention in Arlington, which is easily reachable for me. I have no idea if they have vendor space (it’s an Eastern Orthodox-sponsored event, so I’m not sure what the deal is, there*). It’s also my anniversary weekend. Still… I’m thinking about it.
