My final schedule for Baycon

[gridlore]

Very little changed.

Dungeons & Caverns -- Bringing Locations to Life Friday 10:30 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. Carmel
Panelists discuss how to bring traditional gaming locations to life. While primarily intended for gamers, this panel would also be useful for re-enactors and writers.
Kevin Andrew Murphy, Justin Lloyd, Douglas Berry (Moderator)

Stealing from History Saturday 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. San Juan
Filing the serial numbers off actual historical events for gaming or fiction. What events are compelling without being overused?
Dorothy Heydt, Wolf Read, Lori Ann White, Raymond "Buzz" Nelson, Justin Lloyd, Douglas Berry (Moderator)

Gay Marriage Saturday 4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. Carmel
Fifty years ago, the very concept of blacks and whites intermarrying was scandalous, and, in some states, unlawful. Did San Francisco break the law, or was it just ahead of the curve? Will we look back in 50 years and wonder what all the fuss was about?
Vera Nazarian, Jane Mailander (Moderator), Kevin Roche, Annalee Newitz, Douglas Berry, Randy Smith

Surviving Cancer Sunday 2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Monterey
Panelists, some of whom are cancer survivors, discuss the process of care and treatment of cancer, as well as some of the rays of hope in the future.
Judy Lazar, Rima McKinzey, Douglas Berry, Christine Doyle (Moderator), Cheryl Morris

How Do You Fight a Stateless Enemy? Sunday 4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. Cedar
Can't sanction 'em, can't bomb 'em, can't kick 'em out of the U.N. So how can you possibly fight terrorism? With no formal diplomatic outlets, what are the options?
Michael Sarkisian (Moderator), Ed Green, Wolf Read, Kim McKinzey, Douglas Berry, Richard F. Dutcher

The Meaning of Marriage Sunday 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Carmel
How has marriage evolved? Where is it going? With all the changes going on in our definition of marriage, how does that change (or not) what marriage means to couples and to society?
Trystan L. Bass, Ctein, Laura Majerus (Moderator), Douglas Berry, Rick Moen, Sandra Saidak

Iraq: Why the War?Monday 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Cedar
We were told about the Weapons of Mass Destruction. We weren't told about the hidden agendas. A frank discussion about how we got into the war, and what we're going to have to do to get out.
Ed Green (Moderator), Raymond "Buzz" Nelson, Douglas Berry, Richard F. Dutcher

Looking at the rest of the schedule, I see only a few things I'll miss because of my panel commitments. Just need to finish up my research on the panels I'm moderating first, and then a little work on the others.

See y'all at the con!

After reviewing the current schedule (http://www.baycon.org/2004/schedule) and cross-referencing your panels, Howard Hendrix' panels (ataniell93 wants to attend all Hendrix events) and other popular con events (such as Meet the Guests, Con-Attendees:The Masquerade and the main dances), it looks as if Saturday night is the best time for the Trav party. The Masquerade is the main competition that night, and that is scheduled to end around 2300 hours.

Any objections?

That's what I was figuring. Open around 2100. I'm going to promote this as the "Last Second Party." We'll put together some new CDs, bring the usual chips, soda and salsa, and other than that just hang out and do a relax-a-party.

Oh, as far as the football game... How about your choise of Rams v. the 1984 49ers?
