ArmadilloCon 18 Program Schedule (Note for the Online Edition: This schedule is considerably less preliminary [10/8/96] than the previous editions [especially considering the fact that the Program Book has gone to press]. It is still subject to change, however, but those sort of last-minute corrections and updates will be printed in the pocket program. If you see you're on a panel at 6AM on Sunday and you're an afternoon person, it's OK to panic now. Maybe we are that cruel after all. heh. Seriously, though, change requests can be e-mailed to our Program Book Editor A.T. Campbell III at, who will relay them to Robert R. Taylor, our programming director.)
