I had some success doing things at the SCA, I spoke at TAM, and I spoke at Dragon*Con, but I’m not sure how one turns a couple of successful speaking gigs into regularly being invited to speak at conferences. Thoughts?

TAM Sunday: I give a presentation to a zillion people
I got up early to get ready to see the papers, and to make sure I was there to watch everyone else’s papers because they usually aren’t crowded. TAMmers leave in droves on Sunday before the event is over and the papers were really poorly advertised this year. There was no program, there was no …

TAM Saturday
I got up early on Saturday and headed to the Del Mar bar to meet Ginger Campbell, super awesome brain and ER doctor, to watch the 3rd place World Cup match between Sweden and France. I didn’t stay for the whole thing, but Sweden ended up winning. I missed a panel about paranormal investigation and …

TAM: Going Dark
So, I’m leaving tomorrow morning to go to TAM. I probably won’t have much internet access beyond email, so there (probably) won’t be any updates while I’m there. I will, however, be taking notes analog style, so I’m sure there’ll be stuff to post when I get back. So, if you’re going to TAM feel …

The Amaz!ng Meeting
I’m going. I gave in — what are credit cards for, right? I’ve been obsessing over it for 2 months, I figured I must actually want to go if I still care. I spent a lot of time debating if I wanted to go to TAM or get an iphone. Now the trick is to …
