Ah, a very early "welcome to my city" to you, then. :-)

Yay! I like Huff, I like you! I presume that means I would like Lubov.

When I first read this post my reaction was "wait, that can't be right, he's at Confusion that weekend!"

(I was thinking about Arisia 2013, because the panel signup email just went out....)

I did check the year before saying yes!

Huh. That gives me a reason to finally check out Arisia.

It's great to see them being so cross-cultural and going as far as actually inviting Canadians!

Congratulations. I wish I could be there.

Interesting - they get website links, you get a wikipedia entry.

That's where I keep my death ray.

Cool, perhaps I will see you there!

It looks very Canadian, January cons seem to think you will make a good guest.

Also check your inbox

[identity profile] james-nicoll.livejournal.com 2012-09-20 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Which one? Here, panix or FB?

[identity profile] jeffreyab.livejournal.com 2012-09-20 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Panix just trying to finalize your list of proposed panels.

[identity profile] james-nicoll.livejournal.com 2012-09-20 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Can you resend? I am not seeing anything.

[identity profile] jeffreyab.livejournal.com 2012-09-20 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
You do not seem to be getting email from jeffrey.a.beeler AT gmail DOT com which is what I use from work.

Oh, excellent! I'll finally get to meet you!

[identity profile] james-nicoll.livejournal.com 2012-09-21 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
I will be the guy with a beard and shaved head. I'm Caucasian, if that helps, and also I read SF.

As long as Charlie Stross doesn't also show up, we should be all set. Not too many shaved heads at Arisia.

Huh. Wonder if I'll see a repeat of what happened that time I was the only shaved headed person at a movie premier. I don't think I've ever had that many women come up and want to rub my scalp. I wondered for a while if they'd confused me with the boar in Theater of the Arts, said to give students good luck of they rub it.

(not quite as useful a phenomena to me as it could be because I was the only straight person there. That said, it was pointed out to me by someone with a particular license to comment on my behavior in these matters that it wasn't a lesbian magnet but rather a women whose tastes include women magnet, which is slightly but significantly different)

Every time I buzz my hair people ask to rub my head! Please introduce me to these woman-liking women who are into fuzziness.

Your experience sounds hilariously like the time a busty friend of mine went to a gay nightclub, where a lot of gay men crowded around and poked cheerfully at her boobs while saying things like "Honey, are those real?"
