Draft schedules

I've already gotten my draft schedule for Chicon 8. Getting them out over a month before the con is good even for a regular local con; for a travelling convention like a Worldcon, it's just short of a miracle.

Exact times, panelists, etc. are subject to change, so I won't post it yet.

Well, I finally got the e-mail to say that I'm not going to be on program.

I'm not hugely surprised or disappointed, because they didn't accept any of my program-item ideas, and of the various items I perused, none of them were in the "I must be on this!" category for me. There were a few I might have added something to, but I'm not even sure in all cases that it was relevant to what they wanted : for instance, an item on film sound quality, where I proposed to give some historical and technical background on optical sound recording, and possibly even bring in the sound section of a 16mm projector.

I can't complain too much, since the Fan Tables & Exhibits folks managed to find me a 10×20 foot booth.
