Where else will I be?  If it involved Brian Henson and doesn’t conflict with one of my panels, assume I’ll be there.  And the Center for Puppetry Arts, and a lot of the podcasting and Trek stuff…  And I guess I should throw up a cosplay graphic, too, huh?  That is the one area that I am taking it a bit easy this year…  (Even though it may not look it, most of these are both easy and comfortable.)
