Loscon 51 is Coming

Today we had a Zoom Loscon 51 Committee meeting.  We are about ten weeks away.  This will be our second year at the LAX Hilton.  Last year being the first, no one knew where anything was – and the place is laid out like a maze.  So, I’m calling this year’s blood drive, “The Blood Drive at the end of the Hallway”, with the tag line, “Despite all my days, I’m still just a rat in a maze”.  We are a go with the Red Cross and the Convention.

Kris and I are also running the Ice Cream Social, but there are still some details to work out with the hotel like ice cream bars or scoops.  And that will determine how much work we will have to do at the con.

And Kris will be in the Art Show AND The Maker’s Room where she’ll be teaching attendees how to do peyote beadwork stitches.  Not exactly a relax-a-con.

In other Loscon news, A Robotech group will be having some of its own programming there and bringing their own guests. 

And Star Fleet Region 4  https://region4.org/  will be holding its conference at Loscon.

There will be more details on both of these events later.

If you are interested in attending or just want to check out Loscon, you can do so here  https://loscon.org/

We always have a great time, hope to see you there.

“What’s this?  A hamburger shaped-BattleBot?   Battle Royal with Cheese?  Too bad it went up against the burger flipper BattleBot. It didn’t stand a chance! 

I’m a bit late to the game…this was from 2018, but I suppose I’m a BattleBot fan now.  Nothing like a little robot carnage with dinner.” – Vincent Reinhart
