| What can I say, for many of us EGs this is THE CONVENTION of the year. A large hotel with big rooms and a fan friendly staff right across the street from a Denny's, a Jerk in the Box, and a liquor store make for an almost perfect site to have a con. And Norwescon has outstanding programming with separate computer and science tracks which can only be even better this year since the theme is "Ad Astra - To the Stars." Which means that there is plenty to stimulate a genius by day, and the Evil Geniuses for a Different Tomorrow throw parties all THREE nights! And we were THE PARTY to be at on Thursday of Norwescon22. | |

| Wow! What better reason to go to Hawaii for, a Westercon. Imagine a convention on Waikiki's famous white sand beach. I bet all the Klingons melt at this con. But it would probably be perfect for those that prefere skimpy costumes. Time to start saving this one! I doubt there will be enough of us EGs there to throw a party. Hell, this one's probably too much $s for any of us, but you never know. Guests - Dan Simmons, Ctein, John Lorentz. | |

A small, but well-run and established convention with guest list that should belong to a Con twice as large and three times expensive. And how long has it been since any of us have gotten smashed at a party in a dorm? I say we're all over due. This one is a must do for us. And you've got to love the price. |
