Hotel rooms for WisCon 31<\/a> are going fast; already there are no Governor's Club rooms left. The hotel will sell out before the con, so if you're planning to go and you don't already have a room, you should stop by the Concourse Hotel<\/a> web page and reserve a room. Use attendee code WISCON31 (no spaces) to get the WisCon rate. Alternatively, call the hotel (800-356-8293) and tell them you want the WisCon rate. The con officially runs from Friday, May 25, through Monday, May 28, 2007 (but there may be con-related activities starting as early as that Wednesday night).<\/p>\n

In case you want an incentive to go (beyond the usual, I mean): this year's guests of honor<\/a> are Kelly Link and Laurie J. Marks.<\/p>\n

Membership will again be capped at 1000 attendees, so if you want to be sure of getting in, and you don't already have a membership, go register<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One more thing: Suggest program items<\/a>! Deadline is January 15, so don't delay. Aaron L. and Lori S. are running programming this year, and in addition to the regular-format panels, they're hoping to do some other formats for some items (\"such as debate, round-table, or swim-noodle jousting\"), so don't be afraid to suggest outside the box. Also, if you follow that link you can view the panel suggestions others have already made (there are a bunch of really cool ideas there) and even rate the existing suggestions (in terms of whether you think a given panel should happen or not).<\/p>\n

I got the above info from the email newsletter, the eCube<\/a>. If you, too, want to be kept up-to-date on WisCon developments, all you have to do is follow that link and give them your email address.<\/p>\n

Added later: one more<\/em> thing: I either didn't know or hadn't remembered that WisCon has an online discussion forum<\/a>. Traffic there appears to be pretty low so far, but that could change if, say, more people were to post there. Hint hint.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
