I'm copying my friend (the immensely talented) Chris Holm here and posting my guide to where-I'll-be at Bouchercon in Long Beach this week - but not calling it the stalking guide as he did!
I will also often be in the book room, the hospitality room, anywhere free food is, and of course hanging out in the bar area with everyone else in the evenings.
