Full ConFusion 2015 Schedule
Posted by Meg
Peat’s in Detroit at ConFusion this weekend to speak on panels, play Author D&D and fence with Joe Abercrombie. If you will be there too, catch up with him at these events:
ConFusion 2015
January 16-18th, 2015 at the Dearborn Doubletree Hotel, 5801 Southfield Expressway Detroit, Michigan.
Friday 5pm: Visual versus Textual Reading/Intelligence
Most movies/shows are judged by critics on their textual intelligence – the plot, the dialogue, etc. But visual intelligence is also important, and often missed in professional criticism. Tumblr memes spend days going over the tiniest visual cue in Captain America, while Pacific Rim is called “a dumb movie” – how can we improve our visual intelligence?
Saturday 9am-12pm: Author D&D
Watch a group of fantasy authors play classic D&D. We have an awesome roster for this year’s game including Joe Abercrombie, Diana Rowland, Wesley Chu, Jim C. Hines, Myke Cole and Doug Hulick.
Saturday 3pm: How to Raise Your Nerd
Fannish parents discuss raising the next generation of fans.
Saturday 4pm: Mass Autograph Session
Sunday 11am: The Comics Code
Where have all the diverse, feminist comics gone? How about the 1930s and 40s, in the days before the Comics Code?
