“World Society”, “WSFS”, “World Science Fiction Convention”, “Worldcon”, “NASFiC”, “”, and the distinctive design of the Hugo Award Rocket are service marks of the World Science Fiction Society, an unincorporated literary society. From the Chair OK, here we go—the first Official Progress Report from Worldcon 76 in San Jose! The World Science Fiction Convention is, to me, the World’s Fair of . No other event brings together fans and creators, regardless of genre or medium, under one “big tent” with the face-to-face intimacy of Worldcon. There are lots of big pop culture conventions (quite a few bigger than Worldcon), but none of them feature the “everybody creates this event together” culture that makes Worldcon such a unique international gathering. Just last month at Worldcon 75 in Helsinki, , I had the privilege of announcing our final two Guests of Honor, artist and musician Frank Hayes, who join GoHs Spider Robinson, , Pierre and Sandy Pettinger, and our posthumous Ghost and gHost of Honor and Bob Wilkins. We look forward to sharing their talents in person with you August, and I’ sure they are working on cunning plans with my Program and Exhibits divisions already. Peruse this report to get a taste and feeling for what we’re preparing for you… Inside, you’ll find initial info about our location, our hotels, our events, our exhibits, our program plans and our take on Worldcon culture. Our theme is “Make The ,” but our motto is Spectacular, Spectacular! Everyone on the committee is working to think outside of the box on ways to make Worldcon 76 a truly unique, enjoyable, and memorable experience for all members, and pro alike. When I put forward my name for consideration to chair, I knew it would be a tremendous amount of work. That is certainly true -- and few weeks go by where I am not surprised by some detail under the covers of convention management that would not be apparent to even a long-time attendee of Worldcon -- but

4 more importantly, I see the incredibly talented and dedicated people who’ve joined the team working to plan, design, and deal with the challenges of such a diverse event. It typically takes about 10% of the membership of a Worldcon to actually run it—I hope you’ll consider adding your talents to the mix in some fashion! “Make the Future” is a deliberate reference to the booming worldwide “maker culture,” which has strong roots in the . And it celebrates our deeper philosophical belief that it is by the choices we make together that we steer not only the fan community, but humanity in general, towards the brighter future we aspire to build. Please join with us to make that future! Kevin Roche aka [evil] Kevin* Conference Chair

*If you’ve ever wondered about my [evil] nickname, it is short for “Evil Genius” and was acquired in the course of a long series of cunningly plotted and themed parties and events, and my penchant for building fiendishly useful contraptions such as my cocktail-making . I hope Worldcon 76 will be remembered as both a cunningly plotted event and a fiendishly useful contraption!

Guests of Honor Pierre and Sandy Pettinger • Fans

Attending conventions since 1981, and active in costuming since 1983, Pierre and Sandy Pettinger won their first costuming award at the World Science Fiction Convention in 1986. Their expertise and love of the form drove them to win more awards than can be listed here, but notably includes 4 Worldcon Best in Show awards. They are also active in costume judging, and masquerade management, as well as serving in executive positions in the St. Louis Costumers Guild (a.k.a. The St. Louis Ubiquitous Tailoring Society, or SLUTS), a chapter of the International Costumers’ Guild. (True Fact: They were committee members for San Jose’s last worldcon, ConJosé in 2002, and ran our masquerade there.)

Bob Wilkins • gHost of Honor “Watch Horror Films, Keep America Strong!” was Bob Wilkin’s slogan as TV host of several decades of horror and science fiction films programs in Northern . From Sacramento to the Bay Area, Bob’s dry wit and cheap cigars punctuated the commercial breaks in front of some of the flimsiest sets and craziest props on TV. Whether he was acting out an episodic skit, or hosting as who’s who of fantastic actors, Wilkins was the lynchpin of local movie night tradition.

8 Chelsea Quinn Yarbro • Author Two life-changing things happened to Chelsea Quinn Yarbro in 1968: she attended her first WorldCon and she sold her first story. Since then, she has attended many more conventions and published 81 works of short fiction in multiple genres and is presently working on her 95th sold book. As well as science fiction, Yarbro writes mysteries, horror, non-fiction, westerns, young adult, and , most under her own name, but some under pseudonyms. By the time the 2018 WorldCon rolls around, she plans to be at work on her 100th sold book.

Spider Robinson • Author In writing, Spider Robinson found a way to escape from his job guarding a sewer. Almost immediately he created one of the best known and loved places in Science Fiction and Fantasy; Callahan’s Place. Writing with humor, a singular imagination, and a grounded sense of what people are really all about, his rise to fame was immediate and accelerated. His reputation today is supported by dozens of books, several series, an impressive array of short stories and a wealth of essay’s and reviews. Married for over 30 years to dancer, teacher and occasional co-writer, the late , Spider Robinson provides us with stories displaying signature thoughtfulness, wit, irreverence, and unique insights into the human condition.

9 Edgar Pangborn • Ghost of Honor An American writer of mystery, historical, and science fiction, Edgar Pangborn was the son of a fiction writer and a dictionary editor. Leaving his Harvard musical studies incomplete, he shifted to a career in fiction. Initially he wrote pulp detective and mystery stories under a pseudonym as he developed his craft, then shifted in the 1950’s to science fiction and mystery writing in a humanist style that would inspire the next generation of writers such as Peter S. Beagle and Ursula K. Le Guin. More than 25 years after his death, Pangborn’s sister left his papers and literary works, including many not previously published, to Beagle who worked to bring the best of them into print. Frank Hayes • Music Armed with a guitar and an ironic, wry sense of humor, Frank Hayes has been filking at science fiction conventions since 1979. Some of his best known pieces are “Never Set the Cat on Fire”, “Little Fuzzy Animals”, and “Like a Lamb to the Slaughter”, a talking blues version of the traditional folk song Mattie Groves. He has been nominated sixteen times for the Pegasus Award for Excellence in Filking and has won five: Best Parody, Best Risqué Song, Best Filk Song, Best Classic Filk Song, and Best Alien Song. His song Cosmos was used to wake up the astronauts on the Space Shuttle. Mercedes Lackey said of him, “funny enough to make people fall down on the ground and gasp for breath at first hearing.”

10 John Picacio • Artist Equally at home with a pencil, a paintbrush, or sitting in front of a , John Picacio’s artwork often combines traditional mediums, such as drawing or , with digital flourishes. He is noted for the diversity and range of his artistic endeavors. His art has illustrated the covers of books by , L.E. Modesitt, Jr., , and to name just a few. His art has adorned magazines including Asimov’s Science Fiction and Interzone. He illustrated the 2012 George RR Martin: A Song of Ice and Fire calendar. His art has graced the covers for works in both the ™ and the X-Men universes. He is the recipient of two Hugo Awards, a , two Locus Awards, eight Chesley Awards and two International Horror Guild Awards.

15 San Jose Culture Fan Culture San Jose is a geeky, geeky town. Established high-tech companies like Adobe and tiny little start-ups make their home. Flying into Mineta San Jose International Airport, you’ll see many more tech company headquarters and facilities. What you won’t see from your window, though, is San Jose’s fun geeky side. San Jose has a great convention scene. Whether it’s Further Confusion, Valley Comic Con, FanimeCon, or Clockwork Alchemy, there are events for every sort of fan in San Jose. There is also BayCon in San Mateo, Con-Volution in San Ramon, FogCon in Walnut Creek, a calendar of great gaming conventions throughout northern California and a really great annual Lego conference. San Jose’s SF club scene is also thriving. BASFA engages in genre discussions over dinner with a side-order of recreational parliamentary procedure every Monday. PenSFA is a lot less structured, but very, very social. The of Rassilon has monthly meetings, focusing on Doctor Who and British genre television. And then there are all the ad-hoc weekly fan gatherings. Food & Drink Downtown San Jose is very proud of its restaurant scene, featuring a wide range of prices and cuisines. Our downtown restaurants cater to high-tech office tower workers, San José State University students, and everyone in between. Our taquerias are diverse and very authentic, but Mexican cuisine here isn’t limited to taquerias. Vietnamese options abound and not just phō and bánh mì. Japanese of every sort is available, both within walking distance and a few light rail stops away in San Jose’s Japantown. The Brittania Arms provides traditional English pub fare. I could go on, but I don’t need to. Maker Culture The Bay Area’s art scene, geeky culture and high-tech expertise was a natural cradle for the “maker” subculture that has grown up over the last few years. Burning Man, RoboGames, Maker Faire, the TechShop, all have driven enthusiasm in creative arts and crafts. 16 San Jose Culture Arts & Entertainment San Jose is a great town for the arts, and downtown San Jose is a growing arts area. South FIRST FRIDAYS is a monthly downtown art walk showcasing local galleries and venues only blocks away from the San Jose Convention Center. SLG Publishing created Art Boutiki, a comic shop that is so much more than just a comic shop. We’re very solid in the museum department. The Tech Museum of Innovation, Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose and the are all right downtown. We’ve also got the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum and Gardens, a quirky little place with a seriously amazing collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Of course, if “quirky” is your thing, ’s holds the record on taking “quirky” over the top. And there are plenty of other museums (, anyone?) nearby. If live music and live theater is your scene, we’ve got you covered. Live music is common at many of our downtown bars, clubs and cafes. We’ve got some amazing independent theater companies, and quirky little theaters that they call home.

Fanboy characters: www.gazbot.com @Worldcon 76 In the Exhibit Hall Worldcon 76 is proud to bring you an Exhibit Hall full of wonderous things to see, do and experience. Located on the Concourse Level of the McEnery Convention Center, we have a lot planned to fill your day and enhance your convention. Take a look through our Art Show, where you can bid on and buy something wonderful to take home. Our Dealers Room will sell books, clothing, jewelry, movies, games, music, toys, and more. We’re curating Exhibits to illustrate the best in science, fantasy, and science fiction. There will be a Gaming area to enjoy with friends old and new, where you can try out SF/F themed board games and tabletop roleplaying games. Relax at Callahan’s Place, a comfy social hangout area for people of all ages— and possibly a few aliens as well—where you can view live-streams of the Hugo Awards and the Masquerade in comfort. We’ll have a great place for cosplayers and costumers to take off their heads in a headless lounge, pose for photos with backdrops, register to be in the Masquerade, and share their experiences as well as their talents: our new Cospitality area. Take a break in the Lounge to explore the history and future of our great community. Familiarize yourself with the locations bidding to host future Worldcons at the Fan Tables area so you can get ready to vote in Site Selection. The Hall will have places where you can get something to eat or drink, be merry, find a new favorite book at the Freebies table, and perhaps learn something along the way. Plan to visit the Exhibit Hall early and often. We’re here for you. 19 @Worldcon 76 In the Exhibit Hall – Fan Tables Fan Tables are where you can advertise your convention, fan event, or related non-profit organization. The table is free of charge, but everyone who staffs the table must be a Worldcon76 member. You may not sell anything at these tables except memberships and specific swag. If you would like to be considered for a fan table at Worldcon 76, please fill visit www.worldcon76.org/at-worldcon/exhibits/fan-tables to apply.

20 @Worldcon 76 Programming The Programming Division is already hard at work generating ideas and contacting people to participate, but it’s not just about panels—it’s also about Gaming and Klatsches and Workshops and Music—with the occasional Lecture on topics both hard and soft, or demonstrations of wild, weird and wonderful skills and techniques. If you’re an aspiring writer, consider participating in the Writers Workshop. This is an opportunity to have both new and experienced authors critique your work. Many well known writers got their feet wet at a Worldcon Writers’ Workshop. Not sure you’re ready for that? Consider participating in a Deep Dive, where discussion focuses around how to write a particular type of scene or develop a character. Workshops aren’t limited to just writers and artists. Whether you want to learn to make a prop or prosthetic, dance a new step, sing a new song, or learn almost anything, it’s likely to be something we will offer. Want an opportunity to meet an author or artist? Consider signing up for a Kaffeeklatsch or Literary Beer. This is an opportunity for 8-10 people to hang out with someone in a casual environment, or go for a Stroll With The Stars some morning. Sign ups for both Klatsches and Workshops will only be done on-site (with more details to come). Music is a big part of our programming. We are planning events both big and small, and will be going into the wee hours every night. Bring your voices and instruments to join in a filk circle, or just have a seat and listen to the wide variety of music that happens at Worldcon. Do you have an interest or belong to a fandom and want to meet people who share that interest? A Birds of a Feather (BoF) session might be just the thing! We’ll have some space set aside for impromptu BoFs, but you can suggest one in advance to get it scheduled, too! Visit http://www.worldcon76.org/at-worldcon/program to make panel and topic or participant suggestions.

21 @Worldcon 76 Charity Auction Activities Science Fiction and Fantasy fans are well known for their caring and charity, and one of the best places that manifests itself is at Worldcon in the Charity Auction. While this year’s charity is still to be announced, we’re already into the planning of auction activities, the proceeds of which will benefit that worthy institution. This year we’re hoping to hold one of the best Worldcon Charity Auctions ever, because we’re imitating, appropriating, and frankly stealing the best ideas we’ve seen at previous conventions. Recently we were impressed by Kansas City’s use of connected silent and voice auctions, so we’re stealing the best of that. People who can’t make the Voice Auction event can still participate by visiting the Silent Auction exhibition where they can pre-bid on displayed items on the days leading up to the voice auction. Items that receive enough bids in the silent auction will move to the voice auction for titanic final battles for ownership! We’re also planning a catalogue of items that will be available in both forums be available online for all Worldcon members to peruse. In the meantime we’ll ask that if you are in a position to donate to the auction, either personally or representing your employer or other contact, or you’re excited at the prospect of being on the Charity Auction team, please contact [email protected] and let us know how you’d like to help. The Mirror’s Revenge Why did the Evil Queen kill Snow White instead of marrying her strategically? How “happily ever after” could Snow White live after being dead for six months? Who was really behind the mayhem, and are they done? Welcome to The Mirror’s Revenge! This sequel to Snow White continues events and reveals what was really going on in the first story. Along the way, we watch Snow grow under duress from naïve victim to self-reliant heroine. The play and lyrics were written by novelist Jay Hartlove. The melodies were written by Celtic rockers Kristoph Klover and Margaret Davis. This full musical production will be presented live at WorldCon 76. 22 What is DC in 2021? Washington, DC fandom has played host to many science fiction conventions, including Disclave, Capclave, and two Worldcons — Discon I (1963) and Discon II (1974). A new generation of DC area fans are bidding to bring the World Science Fiction Convention to DC for a third time in August 2021 at the Marriott Wardman Park in the Woodley Park neighborhood of Northwest Washington. Why DC? Washington, DC is home to one of the greatest collections of museums in the world and some of the most beloved architecture in America. It features a wide range of international cuisines in dining, and a thriving nightlife that has given the world go-go and hardcore punk music, and its many theaters host top-notch drama and performance arts. Many of the best attractions — the national monuments and memorials, the Smithsonian Institution museums, and even the National Zoo — are free to the public, and are well-served by the WMATA Metro rail and bus system, Circulator buses, cabs, and Capital Bikeshare service.

Want to Help Us Gear Up? It takes a lot of hard work to put on a Worldcon bid and it also takes money. If you’d like to help us promote the bid, and earn some perks, you can pre-support! Or you can stop by one of our bid tables and grab a lanyard, a badge ribbon, or purchase a DC in 2021 t-shirt and support us by wearing your DC in 2021 “gear” around. Please visit our website for more details. DCin2021.org [email protected] DC in 2021 DCin2021 “World Science Fiction Society”, “WSFS”, “World Science Fiction Convention”, “Worldcon”, “NASFiC”, “Hugo Award”, the Hugo Award Logo, and the distinctive design of the Hugo Award Rocket are service marks of the World Science Fiction Society, an unincorporated literary society.

AwardsHUGO Ceremony

At Worldcon 75 in Helsinki, the Guiness Book of World Records recognized the Hugo Awards as the longest running science fiction award. Worldcon 76 will host the 65th Hugo Awards Ceremony, with SFWA Grandmaster Robert Silverberg expected to continue his own record of having attended every Hugo Ceremony. Worldcon 75’s WSFS Business Meeting ratified the addition of two new Worldcon administered awards, a Hugo for Best Series, and an as yet unnamed non-Hugo award for Young Adult . San Jose will thus award 17 Hugos and the two non-Hugo awards administered by Worldcon, the Young Adult award and the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. All these awards are nominated and voted on by all Worldcon members. Nominations will open early in 2018. If you think something you’ve read or seen in this year’s current crop of works is award worthy, nominate it. Then, later in the year, vote! With the Convention Center’s renovation, the Ceremony will be held Sunday night in its new ballroom area, rather than across the street as in 2002. Plan to join us there to see which creators and which works join the ranks of Hugo winners (and then have the happy problem of getting a two-foot-tall metal rocketship through airport security). 25 Worldcon 76 Crew in Helsinki

29 Get Involved Volunteers make the Worldcon. Worldcons are community events staffed entirely by volunteers. Please join the hundreds of Worldcon 76 members who will play roles large and small to make this world-wide gathering of science fiction and fantasy fandom a spectacular one! Every Division is still looking for staff. Submit a volunteer interest form, and we will compare your information to our openings as we grow our staff. Not sure how you can help? Information about some of the roles we need to fill is posted in our Help Wanted Ads page. Look at what’s posted now, then subscribe to get updates as new ads are posted. But don’t wait to see something you want before filling out your volunteer form! You can always tell [email protected] if you see an ad that interests you after you’ve submitted your form. Many positions are filled directly from the volunteer forms we’ve received and are never posted as ads. If you don’t want to commit to the full responsibility of a Division/Area Head or Staff position, but have extensive experience you are willing to share, how about being a mentor? If you aren’t sure you have the experience to fly solo in a Worldcon Division/Area Head or Staff position but are willing to take it on with the guidance of a mentor, tell us that too. You can indicate this on your volunteer form. Worldcon 76 is very interested in providing these types of opportunities. For more information about volunteering for Worldcon 76 including links to the volunteer form and the help wanted ads, please check out our Volunteer page at worldcon76.org/ volunteer.

30 Worldcon Ambassadors We are looking for volunteers to help put on the convention, and for people to help get the word out at other conventions, especially in the Eastern, Southern, and Midwestern US; Canada, Europe, and all four corners of the globe. If you are available for any of the following roles, we’d like to hear from you. Email us at [email protected] to send us your volunteer info and interests. Regional Ambassador: Stay abreast of conventions and events happening in your area, and reach out to fans who might enjoy and have time to help by staffing a fan table, bringing Worldcon 76 leaflets or other informational materials, spreading the word about our event. As a Regional Ambassador, you would maintain a supply of materials (which we provide) for fan tables and parties, ship them to others as needed, and coordinate requests for fan tables and parties with the Marketing & Outreach Division Head. Ambassador: Run fan table(s) or host party(ies). Coordinate and manage supplies, schedules, and volunteers. Note: Fan tables do not necessarily need to be staffed all day, every day, at a convention. Take time to enjoy a panel that interests you, and have fun. Volunteer: Assist at fan tables by providing information and answering questions. Direct fans to online information and registration. Every Division has openings. Check out the volunteer page for added info and more ways to participate in this year’s convention, including: • GoH Exhibit Coordinator: Chelsea Quinn Yarbro • Costume Exhibit Coordinator • Equipment Acquisition • Fan Table Staff • Fanzine Lounge Co-Host Want to update your interests or volunteer for another newly listed role?
