A Fan-Operated Science Fiction and Fantasy Literary and Filk Convention in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area
|
FenCon III Friday Programming Highlights:
FenCon III starts at noon so we can fit in all the good stuff on
the schedule this year. Once again we reward the "early birds" with bonus panels
by Guest of Honor Alan Dean Foster at 3pm and Toastmaster Jim Butcher at 4pm,
both in Programming 1. The Four Redheads of the Apocalypse Reading at 7pm in
The SF Reading Room is always a crowd-pleaser and be sure to catch a gripping panel by
writers workshop leader Lawrence Watt-Evans at 7pm in Main Stage. After
Opening Ceremonies at 8pm, stick around Main Stage for an evening of filk
concerts featuring Music Guest of Honor Heather Alexander and the Bedlam
Bards or visit the Admiral's Club (our con-suite) for the Judith Ward wake.
