Balticon 2012 Schedule
Oh, Balticon. I met you one muggy Friday in May, and I fell desperately in love with your wild crowds, your devoted authors, your zany podcasters, and your impossibly delightful bar crowds. Since that fateful weekend, I vowed to return and soak up as much of that creative madness that gathers for those four days.

And, I’ve said it once, but I’ll say it again. Meeting people at Balticon has made ALL the difference in my podcasting and voiceover endeavors this past year. To EVERYONE who took the time to talk to me last May, to ask about voicework, to tell me that they heard Secret World Chronicle or the Ballad, to compliment my dress, or to photo-ambush me during readings or Panera (you know who you are, and I adore you madly)… thank you. You helped me make memories that continue to kindle my creative spirit. I’ll see you in a few days, for MORE memories.
