FenCon News and Notes

It's over: FenCon VII is in the history books now and we'd like to thank all of the dedicated volunteers, staff, and guests who made this possible. Thanks to the fen for making this our biggest year ever and inspiring us to go big again next year. Watch this site over the next few weeks for all the details on FenCon VIII in 2011.

FenCon VIII: Southern Steam


A good read: Check out the latest edition of Argentus, edited by our 2011 Fen GoH Steven H Silver. This popular 'zine has been nominated for multiple Hugo Awards.


You gave, you rock:
Wow. The good folks at Carter BloodCare told us they hoped to collect 20 units of blood during Saturday's blood drive. The fen lined up and donated 40 units of life-saving blood. Plus, through purchases of our charity print by the amazing John Picacio and at our annual charity auction, you gave over $1230 to help them continue to serve the people of North Central and East Texas.

Thanks for the memories: Lots of folks have written some really nice things about FenCon VII. One of our favorites is the article on the Pegasus News site by Mike Bullock. Plus, lots of great pics were taken by X Marks the Scot and by our pal Bobby Hitt. More to come!

FenCon is of the fen, by the fen, and for the fen.


Party People: Want to throw a party at FenCon? You must let us know first so we can make sure you're on the "party floor". Any parties that are not on the second floor may be shut down by the hotel. If you are throwing a party, send a note to hotel@fencon.org and include your name, your confirmation number, and what your party is for. This will also allow us to promote your party in the at-con newsletter.
