  • The A. Heinlein Centennial July 5 to 8, 2007
    The A. Heinlein Centennial July 5 to 8, 2007 he Centennial celebration of Robert A Heinlein's birth took place in Kansas City over the period from Thursday July 5 to Sunday July 8, 2007, attended by about 750 members of the Hcinlein community- TThe Centennial celebration was mounted by an ad hoc committee incorporated as Ileirdcin Centennial, Inc It was our goal to bring together as many different facets of the Heinlein community In one place as could be managed, and we are happy to report a resounding success. I he response of both the commercial and the government space community were very gratifying — and quite unlooked for. The gala itself, preceded by a buffet dinner, took place on Ileinlcm's hundredth birthday, which he had thoughtfully scheduled to fall on Saturday in his centennial year — and as Peter Scott emarked "Heinlein also had the foresight to schedule his centenary before the economy went in Ihe ci appcr " 1 hat last is perhaps more than a throw-away joke in the opening years of the Greater Depression; you will find throughout the comments by organizers and attendees oblique references to financial crises and a fantastic degree of sabotage by the organisation that should have been doing the Centennial but was not, Sketches of fuller tellings of the story have been archived on the Heinlein Nexus Forum but would overrun the space available in the JOURNAL, The remembrances of the participants are an embarrns tic ridiesscs. THE PROGRAM COMMENTS BY ORGANIZERS AND ATTENDEES: TllURSJMYjUIYS arly in 2009, Founding organizer of the Centennial, James O Ciffoid, announced on the newly established Heinlein Noon - 6:00 PM ENexus Forum that the Centennial's sponsoring organisa- SHR A Registration tion, Ileinlcin Centennial, Inc , was winding up its affairs.

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 fandom. 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, Finland, I had the privilege of announcing our final two Guests of Honor, artist John Picacio and musician Frank Hayes, who join GoHs Spider Robinson, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Pierre and Sandy Pettinger, and our posthumous Ghost and gHost of Honor Edgar Pangborn and Bob Wilkins. We look forward to sharing their talents in person with you next August, and I’m sure they are working on cunning plans with my Program and Exhibits divisions already.
