Friday

Wrun With Writers

Everyone is welcome, no one gets left behind, and all participants will get an exclusive ribbon and bragging rights. (Mur Lafferty, Adam Rakunas)

Bringing Up Geek
Monday 11:00 – 12:00, 210E (San Jose Convention Center)

It’s never been easier to bring up the baby in geek! Sharing your old nerdy toys and TV shows is just the beginning. At what age do you start them on Star Wars or Doctor Who or D&D? What order? What are the smallest sized in geek fashion? When do you have the talk with them about how problematic the fridging element is in Kyle Rayner’s origin? Our panelists talk about bringing up the baby.
