Friday Programming Schedule


FenCon IV Friday Programming Highlights:


We welcome the early birds with intimate panels featuring our Toastmaster, Steve Perry, at 2pm and Guest of Honor, Connie Willis, at 3pm in Program One. We remember the great Madeleine L'Engle at 5pm on Second Stage. Today's Lone Star Shindig programming includes Jarrod Davis' Firefly panel at 6pm in Program One and a Bedlam Bards on Main Stage at 9pm. But first, we formally open FenCon IV with Opening Ceremonies on Main Stage at 7pm. Then wind down in the video room with The Time Element at 9pm and an amazing stop-motion animated short of The Pit and the Pendulum at 10pm.

Check out the complete Friday programming grid below.
