Wiscon is fast approaching! Sadly I'm not going to be there this year, but other Strange Horizons staff will be. On Sunday afternoon the fiction editors will be hosting the usual tea party:
Location 629
Time Sunday, 15.00-16.30
Strange Horizons' much-beloved tea party, now celebrating our tenth anniversary! Come drink tea and eat yummy things while mingling with your favorite Strange Horizons staff and authors. Hosted by Susan Groppi, Karen Meisner, and Jed Hartman.
And this year on Sunday evening we're one of the sponsors of the genderfloomp dance party, brainchild of Meghan McCarron and Liz Gorinsky:
Location Assembly
Time Sunday, 22.00 to Monday, 01.00
Co-Sponsors: io9, Small Beer Press, Strange Horizons, Circlet Press, The Tiptree Motherboard, Think Galactic. In honor of the Tiptree Award's 20th anniversary, we seek to explore and expand our concepts of gender via dance party. Gender play/blurring/queering/drag, both in dress and manner, is highly encouraged but hardly required. DJ Buckminster Fuller will keep the party going all night, or at least until the hotel kicks us out. Didn't bring the perfect outfit? Keep your eye on our Facebook page and Twitter feed (@genderfloomp) for organized thrift store outings. Questions? Feedback? Contact us at genderfloompwiscon@gmail.com. F*#k the binary: let's boogie.
As usual, the programme has many other interesting things on it, so I'll be keeping an eye out for write-ups next week.
