"For he can tread to all the measures upon the music./ For he can swim for life./ For he can creep."

I'll be at TusCon 44 this weekend -- mostly to have fun, but I'll also be doing panels and an origami workshop:

Saturday 9:00am, Panel Room 2 (Pima B)
Best SF/Fantasy for Preschoolers
Janni Lee Simner, Larry Hammer, Mira Domsky
Picture books and early readers for proto-fans who aren't reading on their own yet.
[Having a field tester like TBD will definitely inform our presentation … though really we're doing this as much to get recs as to give them.]

Saturday 6:00pm, Art Demo (Mesa)
Origami tutorial
Larry Hammer
[Haven't decided what I'm teaching, but I'm leaning towards a mix of paper airplanes and bird models that fly.]

Saturday 9:00pm, Panel Room 1 (Pima A)
Are unicorns mammals? Ramifications of biology on mythical creatures
Dania Wright, Rick Cook, Bruce Davis, H Paul Honsinger, Kelli Jenkins, Larry Hammer
Do dragons get lethargic in the cold? What do basilisks eat? Does cockatrice taste like chicken?
[This runs waaaaay past my bedtime (see: first panel), but it's a great topic.]
