Volume 1, Issue 19 March 2011 2 Volume 1, Issue 19 March 2011 2 Editorial: Late! I’m late again. I’m a bad faned. But hey, at least this one’s coming out in the month after the previous one, right? I’ll try to be timelier in April. Part of the delay was that I had to update the con listings to include URLs, since the hyperlinks I thought I was so cleverly giving you weren’t actually working. Another delay was that I’ve been trying to focus more on the job, so I wasn’t creating this when I should have been working (at least, not as much as usual). Hopefully, the result was worth the wait. We’ve got cover and interior art from Mike Moon, this time with his website noted in the pieces. We’ve got the updated con listings, which felt like they just took *forever* this time. We’ve got a great edition of the LoC column, which usually happens when I’m late – I think a few of you just need an extra week to write in. And then, we’ve got an article from SFC Vice President M. Lee Rogers/Mike Rogers (Mike, I’m never sure which name to call you by in print – could you clarify that?) about a get-together he’s organizing to celebrate the 25 th anniversary of ConFederation, the 1986 Worldcon in Atlanta. I was too young to attend the original, but hope to be able to join y’all for the anniversary. Thanks, Mike, for sending that in!

Minors need parental consent forms signed and notarized. www.furryweekend.com ) March 18-20: All-Con (Addison, Texas -- Crowne Plaza North Dallas. Rather varied programming, much of which is costuming or anime related, though they also have a lot of game show type events. Tickets $40 until March 7th, extra for the burlesque. www.all-con.org ) FantaSciCon 2011 (Dalton, Georgia – Super 8 Convention Center. This is a new location, so make a note. Guest include Allen Gilbreath, Cheryel Hutton, Kimberly Richardson, Mark Helwig, Rob E. Brown, and Joe Dickerson. Membership is $50. No day rates. http://fantascicon.com ) Anime Matsuri (Woodlands, Texas – Crowne Plaza. Anime convention with an over-programmed, slick-looking website. Guests include Luci Christian, Christopher Smith, Kyle Hebert, Stephanie Young, and several entertainers. $55 at the door. www.animematsuri.com ) March 19-20: NashiCon (Columbia, South Carolina – Russel House, USC campus. Student- run anime con featuring gaming, dance, and trivia contest. Pre-reg $8 until March 12 th . http://web.sa.sc.edu/clubnashi/index.php ) March 25-27: AggieCon 42 (College Station, Texas – Hilton Hotel College Station. This student-run con out of Texas A&M is one of the South’s oldest. Guest of Honor: Catherynne M. Valente. Registration is $30. http://cepheid.tamu.edu/node/2 ) BabelCon (Baton Rouge, Louisiana – Hampton Inn & Suites. Broad-based con with a difficult website. They’ve got a range of different folks as guests, from authors and artists to bands, scientists, and paranormal investigators. $25 for the weekend. www.camerakrewe.com/BabelCon/index3.html ) MegaCon (Orlando, Florida – Orange County Convention Center, Hall D. Guests include William Shatner, Stan Lee, and tons of sci-fi actors and comics creators. $60 for the weekend, $25 one-day, slight discount for pre-reg online. www.megaconvention.com ) MidSouthCon 29 (Memphis, Tennessee -- Hilton Memphis. Another of the grand old cons of the South. My friends in western Tennessee keep trying to get me to come out to this. One day, I just might. Guests of Honor: Mary Robinette 4 Kowal, Nene Thomas, Monte Cook, Kurt Busiek, Kelldar, Les Johnson, Jackie Gamber, and The Great Luke Ski. Memberships $45. www.midsouthcon.org ) MACE West: Cudgel (Hickory, North Carolina – Gateway Hotel & Conference Center. The Central NC gaming convention’s western edition. Registration is $20 through March 23 rd , then $35 at the door. www.justusproductions.com ) EyeCon Vampire Diaries (Atlanta, Georgia – Westin Atlanta Airport. Featuring actors from the TV show. Even more convoluted ticket pricing than Creation. Looks like you pay individually for everything you want, including days, unless you pay for the big dollar packages.) March 26-27: InvaderCON (Atlanta, Georgia – Marriott Century Center. Invader Zim convention. Guests include the voice actors for Zim, Dib, and Gir, as well as several of the production-end folks from the show. By the time this hits your inbox and efanzines, the ticket price will have reached the $31 door rate, and you have to pay an extra $1.77 fee to book it online. The special event dinner and breakfast have already sold out. www.invadercon.com ) April 1-3: synDCon II (Rockville, Maryland – Rockville Hilton Hotel and Executive Business Center. Gaming convention with a difficult website. Their reg system, unfortunately, doesn’t appear to be working. http://syndcon.net ) ChimaeraCon (San Antonio, Texas – San Pedro Village Event Center. Mostly gaming, with a number of panels on SF and anime costuming. Registration $25, or $20 for students and military. http://chimaeracon.com/ ) April 1-2: Technicon (Blacksburg, Virginia – McBryde Hall at Virginia Tech. Student-run convention that’s been around for a while. Not much information on the website, so I don’t know what to tell you. It’s been around for a while, but I’d heard rumors they weren’t going to do it again. That’s clearly not the case, but I’m not sure what exactly they are doing. Registration $10, or $5 for students. http://www.technicon.org/tcon28/ ) April 8-10: RavenCon (Richmond, Virginia – Holiday Inn Koger Center. Fun, fairly big- tent convention, with John Ringo and Kurt Miller as its Guests of Honor. Expect a good deal of filk concerts and more programming than you can shake a stick at. Memberships are $35 until April 1 st , then $40 at the door. www.ravencon.com ) JohnCon (Baltimore, Maryland – on the campus of Johns Hopkins University. There will be gaming, B movies, and anime. It will last all weekend. It will probably cost money to get in. Beyond that, the website doesn’t give much in the way of specifics. http://www.jhu.edu/johncon/index.html ) April 8-9: STEAM Fest (Atlanta, GA – Unfortunately, I can’t figure out just where in Atlanta this is. The website says to contact Lainey Welsch at [email protected] for information. www.atlsteamfest.com ) FreeCon 7 (Tallahassee, Florida – second floor of the Student Services building 5 at FSU. Looks like a fan-oriented anime convention. The convention is completely free. www.tallahasseeanime.com/freecon ) April 15-17: KampingKon (Cochran, Georgia – Hillside Bluegrass RV Park. Outdoor science fiction fun. Their website includes a picture of two guys battling with plastic Bat’leths. Membership is $25 until March 31 st , then $30 at the “door”. Camping fees extra. www.kampingkon.org ) JordanCon (Atlanta, Georgia – Crowne Plaza Ravinia. A Wheel of Time oriented convention featuring Brandon Sanderson as Guest of Honor. They also bring in Atlanta area authors for their program, which means they have a broader focus than just one series – it’s just their favorite. $55 until April 3 rd , $65 at the door. www.ageoflegends.net ) T-mode (Rockville, Maryland. Fusion of anime, gaming, and “all things otaku”. http://tmode.org ) Creation Twilight (Arlington, Virginia – Sheraton National Hotel. I don’t really know the actors from this one, so you’ll just have to check it out yourself if you want to know. There seem to be several of them, doing one-day appearances. The ticket structure is complicated, and seems to involve paying a lot to get in and then paying more to do things like get autographs or go to events. I leave it to the dedicated to figure it out.) April 16-17 : CyPhaCon (Lake Charles, Louisiana – Lake Charles Civic Center. They describe themselves as anime, gaming, and sci-fi. The only guests they have listed are the Bedlam Bards, who I think I saw perform once and liked. Tickets are $15. www.cyphacon.com ) April 22-24: MTAC Odyssey (Nashville, Tennessee – www.mtac.net ) Conglomeration (Louisville, Kentucky – Louisville Crowne Plaza Hotel and Conference Center. A science fiction convention whose website is both hard to navigate and hard to read. Their Gaming Guest of Honor is Andy Chambers.
