There will be no further updates to the website as the final hours approach - though FB will get updates continuing through the convention. The committee is loading vehicles, making last minute adjustments, and moving on-site. We have a full program, a full hotel, a full art show, and a full dealers room. The Guests of Honor are on their way. For professionals and those that want to be, we have the writers workshop. For educators, Julie Czerneda will be hosting her hands-on workshop. Roberta is debuting a brand new CD. Keith is ready to debate. Filthy Pierre is ready to amaze and inform you. The Batmobile is revving turbines to speed and the Prius shuttle is in pursuit. Now, if I can find my car keys, I hope to see you all there! Travel safe and may the sun and stars light your way to us.

The High Tea has been cancelled. It was to be moved offsite to a local tea house, but at this point we have insufficient registration for it. If you paid for the high tea, you can transfer it to the Writers Reception on Thursday. Please see the Chairman at con if you prefer a different option.
