News: July 2004 Archives

The schedule of Comic-Con has been released. [Via Disembodied Brain]. It looks very, very cool. Wish I was going. Anyone going to blog it?
A couple of the things I'd love to see : Star Wars Spectacular with Lucasfilm’s Steve Sansweet and guests (of course), Joss Whedon talking about Serenity (and showing previews?) and Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean talking about the MirrorMask movie.

Another one to file under "I would go if I wasn't 6000 miles away", Robinson will speak to The Bee Book Club at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 15, at the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria, Sacramento. [Via The Sacremento Bee]
I had a quick look for a list of KSR's schedule but couldn't find anything. Anyone know if he as a tour schedule somewhere?

A few days ago I laughed at The Arizona Republics article on WesterCon57. I've just found some more stuff about the con, the website is here, Dragon Page are broadcasting live from it and the programme listing looks amazingly diverse. Sessions that I would fancy going to if I wasn't 4000 miles away include....

• Coyote and Roadrunner, The physics of the Chuck Jones universe
• Southwestern Cats: The Eating of Geckos (?!)
• Future Weapon Systems in SF Stories - Fantasy vs. Reality
• Farscape: Frel No, We Won’t Go!
• Beyond X-Prize
