PANEL SCHEDULE AND LAST INFO UPLOADED
The panel schedule, autograph sessions, party list and hours of operations have all now been uploaded. Please look around and start planning your convention before you arrive. Questions concerning any particular convention activity probably will go unanswered since most of the convention staff will soon be arriving on-site. Come on by and volunteer on Thursday while we are setting up. By Friday morning we should be up and running. See you There!! --- Webmaster
Here I put in a discrete plug for everyone to check out my stuff in the art show and to come to my flintknapping panel at 2:30 on Saturday. See you there -- Dr. Susan "Arizona" Gleason (aka Webmaster)
NEW PARTY HEAD
If you are planning on throwing a party at Loscon PLEASE CONTACT our new Party head, Darrel Exline, at parties@loscon.org to discuss your needs. Since this is a late reassignment, please re-email this address to confirm that he knows that your group will be having a party.
"Classics of Science Fiction" PROGRAMMING TRACK
A special programming tract will include panels to discuss four different "Classics of Science Fiction". These classics are: Some Will Not Die by Algis Budrys, Fail-Safe by Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler, Between Planets by Robert A. Heinlein, and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. People who are interested might want to read these books before the convention starts.

WEBSITE BACK UP AND BEING UPDATED -- August, 2005
We have experienced technical difficulties with our previous server. As a result the website was down for a period of time as we resolved the problem and transferred the site to a new server location. It is currently being updated and transfer related link problems are being corrected. The Loscon e-mails have also been down for a month. All the e-mails are now reestablished. New information, including a list of program participants with biographies have also been added to the website. Panel Information will be posted soon along with more information about our Guests of Honor.
PROGRESS REPORT ONE STATUS
According to our publications committee member Liz Mortensen, Progress Report One has been mailed. Check the membership list that is included to doublecheck your membership status. If you did not receive a progress report by now, you probably are not recorded as having a membership. The membership list is now on the website, another way in which to check on your membership. If you have any questions about your membership status, please direct them all to membership@loscon.org.
WEBSITE BEING UPDATED
The website has finally begun to be updated. For all those of you who have not heard, I was hospitalized recently with an ovarian tumor which had to be surgically removed. This has caused a good bit of the delay (about a month and a half) in information transferral. I'm happy to say though that I'm finally back on my feet and hopefully will stay healthy enough to keep the website updated from here on out.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Webmaster
WEBSITE NOW UP
The website has now been developed beyond the initial basic page. Feel free to peruse all the pages that have been posted. More information will be posted within the next few weeks as it becomes available since our first committee meeting was held on April 9, 2005. -- Webmaster
