As you can see, things are clustered on Thursday (four events) and Sunday (two events filling the final half-day of the conf.). Friday is wide open: a good time to visit with people and explore the book room. Saturday is tricky: the only two times where there's double-tracking are the two C. S. Lewis events opposite the 'Tales After Tolkien' events. In the past I've found both well worth going to, and there are specific papers on each I want to see this year -- Kristine Larsen's papers always tell me things I didn't know (and this time it looks to be based on what's probably my favorite CSL book), and both the medieval detectives and animal pain presentations sound intriguing. So, Saturday afternoon will be the tricky part of my schedule.
My own contributions come early (Th. 1.30; the Christopher Tolkien roundtable) and late (Sun. 8.30 am!; the Tolkien as Linguist and Medievalist panel), and I'll be in good company for both. And of course I'll be at as many of the other events as I can manage.
If you're going to be there, be sure to say hi; if I'm not at a panel I'll probably be somewhere around the NODENS BOOKS table in the Book Room. And if I met you last year, forgive me if I walk right by without recognizing you; my mild form of face-blindness means I'm likely to remember our conversation from a few years ago but not what you look like. Sorry about that; just give me a reminder.
