Since this is coming up in less than 2 weeks I'm surprised no one has mentioned they're going yet. This will be the first fan run con I've gone to in well over a decade that I'll be a fan & not a volunteer. I got to meet several Jim fans while waiting in the autograph line at DragonCon 2013 & look forward to meeting more at this con.

Has the weather been an issue down there as up here in Chicagoland?  Lots of snow recently kinda put the kabosh on travel plans.  Maybe folks are waiting to see how things pan out around there.  Either way, I truly doubt that Mr. Butcher's fans in that area won't turn out.  Most likely, they are just waiting till closer to the time frame.

Good point! Seems like weather EVERYWHERE this year has been extremely rough. Down here we're not used to snow/ice events which makes things more complicated. Yes, I am a complete wimp when it comes to winter weather which is why I live in the South.

I saw that the Programming schedule is up, but I don't see they have an option to show which panels have which guests. Does Jim know which panels/readings/autograph sessions he'll be at????

I'm assuming he'll only be doing Literary panels.

And yippee for another Dresden fan (earthfoxfury) planning to show up!

Per the Jim Butcher Announcement mailing list Jim is only doing a LARP event Saturday (1130A to 6P).

I'm BEYOND shocked that they have their biggest author guest not scheduled for any literary panels, signings, or even readings. Hopefully it's just a miscommunication, but I'll still be there & will bring my books just in case :)
