Norwescon 2023 Incoming!

Hi all!

Yeah, I should post more here, but I like posting when I have actual news. And I have it today!

For anyone in the Seattle area, Norwescon is here again next weekend, April 6-9 at the big ol’ Doubletree Hilton in SeaTac. I’ve paneled a bunch of times at Norwescon but missed last year, so I’m happy to be back. If you’re in the area and up for a con, click the link and give it a look!

I’m also happy to report Norwescon has a mask mandate this year. Yes, I said I’m happy for that. No, I don’t love masks in general, but I’m happy whenever an event takes covid seriously and I’ll be even happier to not get con crud!

Turns out I’ve got a busy panel schedule, too. If anyone’s interested, I’ll be at:
