Since Peter never remembers to put this sort of thing up

Peter's the guest of honor this year at Albacon, taking place this weekend in Albany, NY.

Pay particular attention to the Saturday Night Extravaganza: "Peter David Unplugged! Spend an hour with Guest of Honor Peter David performing death-defying feats (well, talking and answering questions)." Sat. 8:00 PM.

What's more, I see that David Peters is listed as a guest of the convention, although I'm not sure that he'll be doing any panels with Peter. That may be a good thing, I understand they're not speaking to each other of late and don't even want to be in the same room at the same time...

David Peters? Cool, maybe he can sign my copies of the Photon books!

Except for the fourth one, I don't have "This is Your Life, Bhodi Li." :(

OK, I just ordered the book off of Amazon. I forgot we live in a modern age where used books can be obtained online. :)

You mean they call it Albacon and Jessica Alba isn't even a guest?

Huh... Peter, plus the guy who draws Questionable Content, and not too expensive for a student... (who'm I kidding, yes it is...)

That's really, really tempting.

I think the two of them should fight in a cage match. In sumo suits. THAT is clearly what the public wants.

In all seriousness, I would, as a fan and a fellow malibu guy ("Malibuvian"?), love to see Peter up there but just don't think I can make it. SIGH ... maybe next time.

Jeph Jacques is going to be there, too?

*sadface* I miss all the good cons.

If you got Jessica Alba as a guest, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

I'm just sayin'.

No way!

I live right here in Latham just a couple minutes outside Albany. PAD, you're headed for my hometown! So, where is this Albacon exactly and what kind of convention is it (comics, sci-fi, etc?).

Oh, damnit... I knew I was forgetting something. Stupid Husserl paper... (my weekend? Going to be spent crying over a book...)

And for those who won't be travelling to the convention, but still want to hear Peter speak, you can log on to captphilonline.com/Destinies.html to find Peter's recent interview on Destinies-The Voice of Science Fiction (Sept. 15, 2006), as well as an archived interview from 2003 further down the page.

Jeph Jacques is gonna be there? Dude, I went to HIGH SCHOOL with him! God, this world is small.

Mr. David, it was nice meeting you at Albacon. Your Extravaganza speech was a riot. (despite the blasted-or is that blasting?-music)I hope you enjoyed the con.
