Jason Fry's Dorkery

I’m headed to Orlando Thursday for Celebration VI, the Star Wars extravaganza. Got some signings, at least one panel, and am looking forward to all sorts of random conversations late at night at the Peabody.

Here’s my schedule:

Thursday, 7p: Mandalorian Mercs party, Rosen Plaza Hotel
Thursday, 8p: TheForce.net party, Wyndham Orlando Resort

Friday, 11a-12p: Signing for DK, Booth 813
Friday, 9p: 501st bash, Rosen Centre (assuming my 501st badge gets me in!) 

Sunday, 11a-12p: Signing for DK, Booth 813
Sunday, 130p-230p: Essential Guides Panel with Pablo Hidalgo, Behind the Scenes Stage 

If you’re in Orlando, come say hi — we’ll talk Warfare, the Atlas, Shadow Conspiracy (kidding — can’t say anything about that one) or anything else. And yes, I will admire your costume, no matter how obscure it might be.

Celebration VI looks great — there are quite literally too many things to see, but here’s what caught my eye. It’s impossible for me to be at all of these, alas. If only I could clone myself….
