The items I'm currently scheduled to be on:

Moderator: <Not Available>
Description: Two concerts 45 minutes each
1. David Kushner
2. Joel Polowin
Duration: 1:30 hrs:min
Language: English
Track: Filk

Huh. Well, I told Judith I'd be willing to do something like a half-hour concert; this gives me about 3/4 hour. I've got a couple of new songs. I can go through my collection. Any suggestions or requests?

Location:  P-510B
Title:  Make a Pig-Puppet

Session ID: 293
All Participants: Dawn McKechnie, Kevin Roche, Joel Polowin
Moderator: Dawn McKechnie
Description: In Neil Gaiman's story Wolves in the Walls, the protagonist's best friend is her Pig-Puppet. We'll make our own sock-puppet friends while listening to the story.
Duration: 1:30 hrs:min
Language: English
Track: Kids Programming

Huh. Well, I've done a sock puppet before. I've done other puppety things, one of which I'll be bringing to the "Making Light" party immediately after this panel session. It does seem a rather odd thread to hang a panel from.

But... Kids programming. That's kind of a surprise. Well, I'll try not to scare them if they don't scare me.
 
When: Sat 20:30
Location:  D-Versailles
Title:  Open Filk on Saturday

Session ID: 794
All Participants: Joel Polowin
Moderator: Yourself
Description: Be a filker of the night. All welcome.
Duration: 4:00 hrs:min
Language: English
Track: Filk

Moderating an open filk session. That doesn't seem too bad. Unless the "all paricipants" really does turn out to be just me; that would be bad.
 
When: Sun 10:00
Location:  P-518A
Title:  Realism in Science Fiction

Session ID: 547
All Participants: Chris Howard, kyle cassidy, Pascale Raud, Fernandes, Joel Polowin, Tobias Buckell
Moderator: Pascale Raud
Description: A lot of near-future SF novels duck the problems we read about in the news - climate change or energy shortage - in favour of problems which look more solveable. We all know that SF shouldn't be pure prediction, but how much of a duty does it have to be based on realistic assumptions?
Duration: 1:00 hrs:min
Language: English
Track: Literature in English

Uh. I question some of the premises of the question.
 
When: Mon 12:00
Location:  P-519

All Participants: David Weingart, Seanan McGuire, Joel Polowin

Duration: 1:00 hrs:min
Language: English
Track: Filk

Multiple approaches, right. It's not like I have a well-defined process. But it should be interesting.

Wow...you're gonna be a busy puppy...and a tired one.

But it sounds like you're going to have fun!

It sounds like your programming items will be interesting. Did you find roommates?

As far as requests for your concert, I love all of your stuff, but I'd also like to hear your cover of A Man Must Wear a Tie.

I have no schedule and I am volunteering so I'm likely to be all over the place and more or less unpinnable (if such a word exists).

That said, it would be super nice to meet up with you at some point! :)
