Sorry to be so last minute about this, but better late than never.  Especially since the DragonCon programming gods have been particularly kind, showering me with seven panels and an autograph session also featuring Chip Coffey, Elonka Dunin, Christopher Jones and Maggie Shayne.  The schedule is:

Wish I was going, if only to heckle you from the audience! Have a great 'Con.

Sounds as though you'll be busy. Have a great time.
BTW, I'm now armed with the season one DVD set of The Dresden Files. Which is now at the bottom of a pile of DVDs-to-watch almost as tall as I am. I'll get round to it.
