As everyone knows the best way to start any post about being a guest at a convention is with an obscure reference to the 1991 cartoon about Stanley Burrell getting magical shoes to fight crime. That is what gets the clicks.

If the Hamacon staff is regretting their decisions at this moment I fully understand.

If you were unaware I will be guest at Hamacon 2016 in Huntsville, Alabama at the Von Braun Center South Hall. I will be on 5 separate panels 4 of which will just be your truly. If you ever just want to see me do our best panels without Kate making them better then this is your chance.

I have panels! Attend them if you can!
