Less than a month away, now I'm starting to get excited! One of the things I'm participating in is Stroll With The Stars - an opportunity to go for a morning stroll with some of our favorite Authors, Artists and Editors.

This was the idea of a number of the participants who were looking for a way to go to the Con, do all the stuff we normally do, but also get out in the fresh air for a healthy stroll and some good conversation. (And let me stress, we mean "stroll" - def: a leisurely walk. This will not be a heart-pounding aerobic activity, it will be a stroll).

Some of the most interesting Authors, Artists and Editors have agreed to lead the Strolls, and will be strolling along at the right pace to have a good conversation.

This year's schedule:

Friday 9AM - Ellen Datlow, Scott Edelman, Jay Lake, Stephen H. Segal, Kaaron Warren
Saturday 9AM - Peter Atwood, Cory Doctorow, Joe & Gay Haldeman, Ann VanderMeer
Sunday 9AM - Lou Anders, Paul Cornell, Felix Gilman, Mary Robinette Kowal, Farah Mendlesohn, John Picacio
Monday 9AM - John Joseph Adams, Frank Wu, Lawrence M. Schoen, Stephen H. Segal
We are going to meet each morning, Fri-Mon, 9AM, at the Riopelle Fountain by the Palais des Congrès (right across from the Palais, at the corner of Ave Viger and Rue de Bluery); returning before before 10. NOTE: You don't need to "sign up", just show up.

ps: Some of us are also doing a "practice lap" at 9AM on Thursday morning if anyone wants to join us.
