qiihoskehNote: In most cases, I've added the lists of panelists from the program book, not from my notes.
* I got up at 06:40 and took a shower; I then had a breakfast of coffee and a danish pastry in the hotel lobby, returning to my room for morning gongyo. At 09:10 I got in touch with SS.
* At 10:00 I attended panel 390 on religion in SF books and movies. The panelists were Fr. JOhn Blaker (M), John Maddox Roberts, Dr. Bob Blackwood, Robert Charles Wilson, and Randy Smith. It was mostly concerned with Christianity and to a lesser extent, discussion of movies prevailed.
* At 11:30 I attended the "Forgotten Favorites" panel, with Amy Thomson (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
amy_thomson) and Rachel Manija Brown (rachelmanija), both of whose readings I would go to later on, and Garth Nix. Two other panelists didn't show up.
* I went to IHOP for lunch at 12:40. I got their best waiter, it seems. I had the chicken breast sandwich.
* I attended the Ann McCaffrey event at 14:30.
* At 16:00 I attended panel 566 on whether Magazines are Flourishing Or Withering Away, featuring editors Gordon Van Gelder, Bridget McKenna, Scott Edelman, Kevin Standlee, and Ellen Datlow (M) (except I think there was a substitution). During this event, I discovered that I had lost my comb and one of my room keys.
* The final panel of the day, Creating Languages, was the one I had most looked forward to. It started at 17:30. Unfortunately there were too many authors there rather than language creators and too much joking rather than discussion of SF languages. The panelists listed were Dr. Lawrence M. Schoen, Vernor Vinge, Rudy Rucker, Harry Harrison, and Lorien Gray (M).
* At 19:00, I went to the hospitality suite to eat. I skipped the masquerade for some reason and eventually went back to the hotel, did evening gongyo and went to sleep.
