It's two pages, designed to be printed on a duplex printer then cut in half. Alternatively, only print out side one.

Two weeks to go

I have had my first "stress attack", and as a result I got a heapload of stuff done at 5am in the morning.

I have cleaned up and "tweaked" the Program. I have updated the Budget and submitted it to WASFF. I have made and laminated most of the membership cards. The few people I have shown them to have been happy with the design. 60 down. I have made and laminated the Guest passes and some of the staff passes.

The latest version of the Program is HERE

Four Weeks to Go!

I have now updated the last major revision of the program before the convention itself:
Here is the Program
I'm all excited!

Getting There

I've now done the guest passes. I have done Posters. The hotel is confirmed. The Guests are all confirmed. Next week I send out the panel lists to the panelists.

I'm also making sure that I'll know where the nearest place to vote is.

Great. An election on the first day of my con.

Countdown

With only 2 months to go, things are starting to get exciting. The hotel is confirmed. The program is at the clean n shape stage.

Cross the "T"s and dot the "I"s

I'm going to need some volunteers to help for half a day (or less) each at the convention. You'll be helping with things like AV and panel coordination while I man the reception desk.

First Draft of the Program

Go HERE, for the newly drafted program. I am positive there will be SOME changes as the con moves forward. If you want to be on any of these program items, e-mail me and I'll see what I can do.

I am getting excited!

Updates

Hey all. I have now booked and paid for Seans tickets, so that has moved forward. I have put up for joining WASFF, submitted my budget and it should be finalised by the end of the next meeting. The program has a draft finished and will be shortly available for people to look at. Most have at least one person on the panel. I plan to have it finalised by 1 month before the con. More info is up on this page, and a revised look n feel has been added.
We are moving along well here. Some stuff is ahead of schedule, some behind.

Updated Look

I took advantage of the new look n feel updates by Blogger to update the WasteLand blog. The new formats seem to be more compatible than the old ones, which would often come up covered in random data garbage.

Slow but steady progress

The con is in "ticking over" mode. Nothing dramatic has happened since Swancon. I plan to have a program ready by July 1st. Issues with insurance should be organised by the end of May.

Welcome Sean Williams.

Sean is a great person to have around at a con, as any of you who have met him will agree. He also bring a writing career which includes several appropriately themed books.

(I'm currently up to the last part of the "Books of the Chosen" which is post-apocalypse styled fantasy. Go and buy it now! Very readable and enjoyable)
