Peter just left a message on my voicemail telling me that he's at To Be CONtinued 3 this weekend in Chicago, along with:
* Tim Choate
* Max Grodenchick
* Harry Harrison
* Luke Ski
* Chase Masterson
* Frederik Pohl
* Jeffrey Willerth
* James J.J. Wilson
So go and say hi. As for me, now that I know he's gone, I'll have a few fun things from the PAD archives to post...
So, Peter's on the road with Peter David? I want to see that panel!
Well, since Tim Choate can't be present as both Zathras AND Zathras, one of the two Peter Davids is going to have to fill in...

What, you didn't think one person could write all that stuff alone, did you?
No? It's really Keith DeCandido then?

What, you didn't think one person could write all that stuff alone, did you?
No, but no writer really does. We swipe from everywhere. There are times when I dabble in amateur stuff where I literally lift entire conversations out things that have happened to me recently. I know lots of writers who do this. The REALLY sad thing is, I've shown stories where I've done that to people I've stolen conversations from... and four to six days later they'll wonder how I knew about that stuff.
