Seems like just a week or so since we got back from worldcon. Nice city, Seattle; I hadn’t been there in ages. And worldcon was a lot of fun. Low key, friendly, a nice mix of old friends and new ones. (And ghosts, too. Too damn many ghosts. Every time I go to a worldcon, […]| Not a Blog

For the third year I return to Madison, Wisconsin, as a guest of GameHole Con, the best con with the worst name in the Midwest. But this year is different because rather than swan about like an indolent remittance-man, I shall be metaphorically singing for my badge and room and usufructs, in the…| princeofcairo.livejournal.com

The arrest of U.K. citizen Finley Bowd in Ireland while traveling to a U.S. comic convention – evidently last weekend’s Anime NYC – highlights a major risk noted in our pre-SDCC visas and comic-cons series: the search of phones and other devices by U.S. border patrol agents.| Comic Book Legal Defense Fund
How is it possible that August of all months should be going by too fast, but here we are a week and change from DragonCon already. The 80,000 Batgirls are already damp-proofing their capes and cowls, so the least I can do for them is post my own schedule for the weekend to let them plan around it.…| princeofcairo.livejournal.com

Later this month I’ll be attending the Seattle Worldcon. To help make it easier for people to find me there, I’m sharing my program schedule below. I do have some unofficial things scheduled (dinners, lunches), but otherwise, I’m happy to chat with people. If you can’t find me at the con, try to catch me after one of these events. If you need an icebreaker, ask for a rejection card (if I’ve rejected one of your stories at Clarkesworld) or the Worldcon exclusive Clarkesworld pin. You...| Neil Clarke

Once more, this year's GenCon schedule remains free of jitters and zigzags -- on the SURFACE. Beneath, it's a roiling sea of confusion, as I will be manning the Pelgrane booth (#623) without the overseas contingent that actually does things so that I can flit about like a gorgeous parakeet or preen…| princeofcairo.livejournal.com

This post builds on our previous analysis of the fundamental principles of the visa system with a more detailed examination of how border patrol and ICE officials could perceive specific comic-con activities. Since the tourism visa and ESTA travel for leisure purposes generally prohibit remunerated activity, the B-1 visa and ESTA travel expressly for business purposes will be our primary focus here – other visa categories will be the topic of next post. That said, this post will also discus...| Comic Book Legal Defense Fund
Attending a comic-con on a tourist visa or ESTA is a relatively low-risk endeavor for a fan with a hotel room who is just going to enjoy the experience. So long as you limit your activity to seeing panels and…Read more →| Comic Book Legal Defense Fund

By which I mean "Dundracon Renaissance," by which I mean "Dundracon renewal," by which I mean "I'm returning to Dundracon!" Because it's the oldest RPG convention, and one of my favorites, and not just because it gets me out of Chicago in February and into semi-sunny Santa Clara, California.

Unlike some years, this year's GenCon schedule remains free of bumps, jogs, and other oddities -- it's practically a cut-and-paste of my default GenCon schedule for the last decade. This, I maintain, is a good thing. You can also find me during show hours at the Pelgrane Press booth (#529) or in a…| princeofcairo.livejournal.com
This is Part Two, you can get the context over in Part One.
