Selling out:
We're a bunch of sell-outs. No, we still have integrity, but we've sold out of dealer tables, art show space, program book covers, fan tables, writers workshop slots, and Friend of the Fen memberships. (We'll have plenty of regular weekend and single-day memberships for sale at the convention.) Thanks for all of your support which makes FenCon possible each year.
