Here's my nice, easy schedule for this year's Balticon. Saturday is delightfully empty, and I am happily not overscheduled on the other days either. I'll have lots of time to enjoy the convention and see friends and take a nice swim! Other than my scheduled items, I have no special plans other than attending the masquerade. I'll also have chainmail in the art show again, since that seems to be working nicely for me. Find me if you want to hang out!
Friday, 10:00 PM - midnight in the Valley Ballroom
