Jim at New York Comic Con - Oct 8-10, 2010

[Priscellie]

I have Jim's tentative schedule for NYCC!  This is subject to change, of course.  I'll let you know if that happens.  I find it a little surprising that he seems to be scheduled for only one panel, so who knows?  

FRIDAY:
7:30pm - 9pm - Epic Fantasy Panel in Rm 1A15, with Joe Abercrombie, Peter V. Brett, Jim Butcher, Naomi Novik, and possibly Brandon Sanderson.

SATURDAY:
12pm - 1pm: official Con autograph signing (table A4 in Autograph Alley)
4pm - 6pm: Penguin booth signing (booth 2414)
7pm - 10pm: Fan Dinner

Tweaked, based on new info from Jim!  The Epic Fantasy panel now seems to be an hour and a half, instead of just one hour, and we have confirmed location info for the two signings.

Can't find a map/floorplan of the panel rooms. Anyone have a line on that?

Looks like http://www.javitscenter.com/Floor.aspx should work.

*facepalm* Yes, right where I found it last year. Duh. Thanks for giving my dummietude a crutch.

*edit* On second thought, while I see 1A there, I don't see 1A15.

Click on 1A hall, and it brings up a layout, then beside that it has two links for 2 different floor plans, although it looks like 1A15 is the same on both.  Dimensions for the room look like it's relatively small.

Awesome, more fail on my part - usually, I'm the one who says to look a little more closely.

*boggles*  1A15 is TINY.  Occupancy of 100?  Better line up early.

I'm gonna put it down to terrible planning and not knowing the kind of following some of the authors have.  I could be wrong, but that's what I choose to believe.  I also think the same for the fact that it's at the same time as the LOTR concert, and a lot of people will have bought their tickets before the schedule was done.

This is what happens when my net goes down and I don't get my messages ~laughs~

Thanks all for replying, but I was talking about wanting to go to the Con. I'm just over in Ohio, but since I have no one to go with me I am leery about being in New York by myself. The boyfriend got called into work for the weekend. ~makes a face~ Blargh.

Sorry to hear that, Seri!  *HUGS*

Is Jim going to be around before the Fantasy Panel?  I am planning to go on Friday, but not the whole day... Do you know if he is going to be wandering around etc?

Scrolling through the updated autograph chart--Looks like Jim's table has been changed to 11. 

And just saw, Cary Elwes is supposed to be there.

Jim, Thomas Sneigoski, and Brandon Sanderson.  This is going to be a great weekend.

And Seanan McGuire.  If you haven't read her books, you should.  Though I'm sad the zombie panel she's on is at the same time as the dinner.
