I am a late add to the guest roster for the Long Beach Comic Con, which takes place September 17th and 18th — Saturday and Sunday — at the Long Beach Convention Center in the splendid city of Long Beach, California. I will be around Saturday afternoon only and I think I'm on one panel and I will not (repeat: not) be sitting behind a table in the exhibit hall that has my name on it.
I don't do a lot of cons these days and when I do, I insist that they not give me a table with my name on it. This is because if they give you a table with your name on it, you have to sit behind it most of the time…and since I never sell things at cons and don't like sitting behind a table for very long, I don't want to feel obligated to do that.
But I'll be roaming about that day and maybe even poaching briefly at other folks' tables. If you're there and you see me, say howdy unless you're that rude guy who cornered me in San Diego and tried to convince me that the United States will be utterly destroyed if we don't elect Donald Trump. (Another good reason to not sit behind a table: It makes it easier to get away from people like that.)
