Cassandra is only carbon now

Eh, fuck it. Let's do this.

I'm going to be at a lot of cons and the like this year, and would love to do some fedi meetups at one or more if folks will be at any of them.

I'm going to make a thread of the ones I'll be at, personal opsec be fucked, but please feel free to boost any you like to help build reach!

@xgranade I and my SO are also #SIFF enjoyers! We'll be passholes this year so perhaps we can coordinate to say hello if we are at the same screening

@rafial Yay, fellow passholes!

@xgranade I’ll be at this one

@rayk Yay! ♥

I haven't worked out my schedule for what panels I'll attend and when, but love to meet up!

Show threadRay Kelm22h ago
@xgranade Same. I’m really late on figuring out panels to attend this year. Usually I have everything picked out just a few days after the schedule is released.
Show threadCassandra is only carbon now22h ago
@rayk I often intentionally do so late, as I know there can be last-minute changes if someone drops out or something... but yeah, I'm definitely cutting it close to the wire, heh.

@xgranade @rayk The churn on our schedule seems to be slowing down as we get closer — always the possibility of some last-minute dropouts, but the schedule should be pretty solid at this point.
Show threadCassandra is only carbon now20h ago
@djwudi @rayk Makes sense! Went on and downloaded the schedule and Guidebook bundle this morning for just that reason.
Show threadMichael Hanscom20h ago
@xgranade I'll be at Norwescon! In some senses, easy to find: Thursday night dance DJ, Friday evening PKD award host, digital accessibility panel on Saturday. Otherwise, running around being social. :)

@xgranade nice, enjoy!
