Tentative Windycon Schedule!
Oct. 18th, 2006 02:43 pmMy first time on a Con as programming!
Friday 6:00 Orly: The Martian Chronicles: Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles
is one of the best known “fix-up” novels, comprised of numerous short stories.
While some of the stories may be a little dated, this classic novel still speaks
to us. Why do these tales continue to resonate?
Saturday 9-12:00 Boardroom, Writer’s Workshop
Saturday 3:00 Heathrow: Re-Imagining TV: From Buffy the Vampire Slayer to
Battlestar Galactica, television has had a tendency to re-imagine earlier
incarnations of itself and films. Why does television keep revisiting its older
ideas and why do the fans keep flocking back?
Sunday Noon Orly: The Apocalypse Will Be Blogged: Blogging seems to have
supplanted fanzines and letter columns because of its immediacy and
accessibility. However, do these very features harm the sense of community that
science fiction fandom built up over the decades?
My homework is clear (and enjoyable) - dig up my copy of "The Martian Chronicles."
