eredienThis is a tentative list, based on topics that sound interesting.
If someone whose work or thoughts I particularly admire is doing a panel, or one panel conflicts with another, all bets are off.
In the order they appear on the website:
The Garden of Forking Borges Translations
I Never Metafiction I Didn't Like
Embracing the Uncomfortable
Pre-history of SF
My Secret (or Not-so-Secret) Story Structure
Towards a Taxonomical Nomenclature of the Fantastic
From Within Us it Devours (For the title alone I'd go to this; but look at the topic! Ideal.)
Libraries in Imaginative Literature
Fitting Character to Plot
Why is the New Weird Weird?
The Fiction of China Mieville
The Fiction of Jorge Luis Borges
The Year in Short Fiction
How I Wrote A Princess of Roumania (It's my current reading material).
The SF Poetry Slan
Sir not-yet-appearing-on-the-website panels:
Jabberwocky/Mythic reading (I will be reading "Love Story.")
Kirk Poland Memorial Bad Prose Competition
Rhysling Award Ceremony & Reading
Various:
Book-shopping.
Talks with people.

I accidentally got sidetracked today when stoking up on soymilk for our hosts in Philadelphia; there was a bookstore, you see.
A lovely copy of The Crock of Gold called to me from the mid 1920's and the shelf at eye-height; I hope to make LJ icons soon out of some of the interior illustrations. (Strangely, there are fewer the farther you read; the last section has none at all. In some cases they overlap the text. However, a brilliant thing, generally, especially as this means I can read the thing without using a laptop and getting eye-strain thereby. I can carry it on the train!)

Now going to see raxvulpine play chess. Taking writing. This weekend and the one following will be a double-header of obsessions. Lovely.
