My Armadillocon 2022 Schedule

Armadillocon 2022 takes place this year from August 5 to August 7 at the Austin Southpark Hotel.  I’m scheduled for five events, two of which I’m moderating. (Cthulhu help us.)

​I’m including my schedule below (and if you don't see me at these, check the bar), and you can find the full schedule here.

Hope to see you there.
