Mythcon 39 Programming Schedule

Mythcon 39 Programming Schedule Please note that any Programming Changes and important announcements will be made at Opening Ceremonies. Evening festivities that are currently TBA will have specifics (time & location) posted in the lobby at Copernicus Hall. It is our hope that the definitive schedule will be printed in the Program Booklet and on a separate hand-out in the Registration Packet. As it stands, no major changes to programming will be made… we hope.
