My Schedule for My Thirty-Eighth Windycon

[beamjockey]

I've attended every Windycon, but one, since Windycon 3. And I'm looking forward to Windycon 41, which starts tomorrow at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center in Lombard, Illinois.

I'll be giving a talk Saturday afternoon; there's another panel I'd like to join, but I'll need to talk to Program Ops first.

The Alien in the Human Imagination

3:00 PM Saturday
Grand Ballroom GH
1 hour


Extraterrestrial life has yet to be found, but aliens have been lurking in the human mind for millennia. The idea that other worlds may have inhabitants of their own goes back to antiquity. Renaissance philosophers debated it. 19th century science suggested an inhabited Mars. Science fiction and the Space Age contributed new speculations and new data. Join Bill Higgins to become part of the "plurality of worlds" conversation.

Windycon 3 was my first sf convention. I've missed a few Windycons since then, though.

Windycon 6 was my second con. I've been to all of them since.

My talk does not appear in the paper program book. Nor in the pocket program.
