Looking forward to attending the panel tomorrow - and to hearing Andy, Dayton, Kevin, David, Margaret, et al speak! Is anyone else planning to be there?

I'm not sure of a book panel but Trek will appear in the form of the movie. The poster (one per person) will be given out as far as I know but Paramount said the poster won't be the only presence (sadly no footage will be shown... or say they say).
Maybe the 3rd cover for the Destiny trilogy will be revealed.
There is a panel on Thursday: "Star Trek Without a Blueprint," that includes authors and editors from Pocket Books and IDW Comics, as well as blogger, author, and actor Wil Wheaton. David Mack Dayton Ward, Kevin Dilmore, and Glenn Hauman are doing a signing of the SCE story collection Creative Couplings
It'd be nice if cons recorded these panel discussions and released them as podcasts.
^ Destiny Book 3's cover is a possibility -- the only reason it wasn't shown at Shore Leave is because Rick Berry hadn't finished painting it yet.If he has, they'll show it. If he hasn't, they won't....
Which again rises the question about the Backcover-Texts. I assume they don't have to be painted...
Back cover text, especially for books 2 & 3, might be too spoilerific to debut in advance.
Well, is there a back cover text for Book One?
Actually, they did that for the B5 Lost Tales panel (And I think the Justice League New Frontier one, too) last year. I was able to snag it on Xbox live (of all places) for free. Warner Bros. probably had a promotional deal with Microsoft to do that, tho. Dunno if Star Trek books/comics could really get the same kind of deal, if they're even interested.
There might be snippets of it on G4's coverage, but just soundbytes, or more likely just a summary.
Thanks, Geoff. I'll accept that in the collegial spirit in which I know it was offered.
Should I ask how sick was he???
Yeah, it's not anything words can adequately express. Just, if you see the corner of his mouth twitch or, God forbid, an actual smile, dive for cover.
I'm just saying.
The panel was excellent, with some mildly spoilerific tidbits I hadn't heard (and decent humor as well!). The room was nicely packed, and the authors (and Margaret!) were ultra-nice during the signing sessions afterward!
Thanks again to Dayton, Kevin, Andy, Margaret, and David for the talks and autographs (I was the curly-haired guy whose name-badge kept facing the wrong way), and apologies to Geoff for not being able to stay for your signing - I had a dinner date to run to at Carmela's (a wonderful Italian place in San Marcos), and had to split. Hope to see something similar to this next year!

I'd like to thank Misters Dilmore, Mack and Ward for an awesome time. I'd like to thank Andy Mangels for being just awesome in general and helping me through the trauma of my first ever book signing. Andy RULES!
I'd like to thank Margaret for the same and for being really sweet. I barely had time to speak to Ed and the others but, dammit, they were working hard so they get thanks too.
And I'd REALLY like to thank the folks who lined up for copies of Sword of damocles. Especially those who'd already read it.
I was well and truly humbled by that and that's no joke.

I've never read any Star Trek literature. Sounds interesting.
