I attended the first, of what I hope are many more to come, TIGERCON, an all-ages event held at Tucker High School in Tucker, GA on Friday, May 3rd from 1:30 - 5:30. During school hours, (1:30 - 3:30), the event was or students only and I answered a lot of questions about writing, publishing, and various questions about creativity and the creative process. It was an absolute amazing day.

Things slowed down for the after school part and the panels did not happen because of the low attendance, but I think the students had a ball. I know I did. It was amazing.

A big thank you to Adam Minott, Roberta Barber, and the Tucker high school librarians and teachers  for hosting the event and for inviting me to be part of it.

On Saturday, September 22nd, I was a guest at the 2nd annual Brenau Litfest, a free public event held at Brenau University in Gainseville, Georgia. This was a small event, but as I understand it, grew from last year. I love to see these literary events. There was a large kid friendly contingent at the show. My friend, Gracie Palmer seemed to enjoy those quite a bit. I met up with friends who were there like James and Kelley Palmer, A. R. Cook, Blue Cole, and Darin Bush. I also met some new people like my neighbor, Keith Guernsey, Gay Hammond, Frank and Katie Anderson, the Heroes in Force cosplayers, and more.

Big thanks to our host, Lainey Kennedy for putting on a fantastic event. She and her team of volunteers did an amazing job and took great care of us. It is much appreciated.

I joined Blue Cole, James Palmer, Lainey Kennedy, A.R. Cook, and Darin Bush for the “Scifi Redefined” panel from 1 - 1:45 in the theatre, the last panel of the day. We had a great time talking all things sci fi.

While at Dragon Con, I will have limited posting ability so look for my photos from the convention at the following:

The above post was made by my friend, Erik Burnham, writer of IDW's Ghostbusters, which you should definitely be reading. It made me laugh. I've been memed.  :)

My Table at The Rock Shop for Free Comic Book Day

The event poster

I just returned home from a fun-filled and full Free Comic Book Day event at The Rock Shop at the Mall of Georgia.

There was a great crowd from before we opened and there were still plenty of folks there when I left. Thanks to Brad and the Rock Shop staff for taking such good care of me. I had a great time.

Afterward, I popped over to see my buddy, Sean Taylor at Galactic Quest for a bit. No setting up. Just visiting. Always fun hanging out with Sean and Co.

Another early night tonight. Tomorrow, I, along with my Earth Station One podcast co-hosts will be doing a couple of panels about podcasting at Outlantacon. Afterward, the ESO crew is heading out to see The Amazing Spider-man 2.

Should be a fun weekend.
