Loscon 32 Other Services

 

There will be various services provided during and by the convention.   These will include but are not limited to an  Information Booth,   Lost and Found,  Newszine,  Con Suite,  Handicap Services,  Fan Lounge,  Parties  and  Fan Tables.

The Information Booth will be staffed by friendly personages who will provide information regarding the convention and local resources.   It will be located on the main floor of the convention.   Part of the Information services planned is the convention schedule in a Palm OS version with updates available at least once a day during the convention, care of our information technician Ed Hooper.   A Pocket PC version may be available.   A Palm OS emulator may also be available for Pocket PC.

Lost and Found will be in the Convention Operations room.   The hours of operation will be Friday and Saturday from 8 AM to 10 PM and Sunday until the end of the convention.

There will be a daily newszine at Loscon 32 providing information and updates about the convention.   This year it should be a real treat with an actual pro writer, John DeChancie, editing.   Newszine Submissions should be turned in at the Information Booth or should be e-mailed now to our newszine editor, John DeChancie at newszine@loscon.org.

The Con Suite will be moving from the location of last year to make it more handicap accessible.   The new location will be located on the 18th Floor, easily accessible from the convention floor via one of the six elevators and with restroom close by.   It will be open during the hours in the table below.

The Party Foor will be on the 17th Floor like last year.   Anyone who wishes to throw a party is encouraged to contact the Party Head  (parties@loscon.org)  regarding being placed on this floor and to receive a list of the party regulations.   All parties must be registered with the Party Head.   There is not a suite rate available, as there are no suites available to general attendees.   If, however, you are planning on throwing a party at Loscon, there are a limited number of suites available.   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.

The Fan Lounge will have fanzines for perusal at your leisure while you relax between panels.   Also in this room will be located the Loscon Archives.

Variously placed in the large lobby area on the main convention floor will be Fan Tables.   At these tables will be representatives from fan groups, other conventions, groups lobbying for hosting larger conventions like worldcon, and the like.   These people are always willing talk and have a world of interesting information to provide.   Check out the LASFS table in particular to see some fascinating close-up magic being performed.   Some of these groups will be hosting parties at night after closing down their tables for the day.   If you wish to reserve a table for your group, please e-mail  fantables@loscon.org.   There is now a waiting list.   Below is the current list of groups who have reserved tables:
