Join us: FenCon VII is the place to be this September but first you'll need to buy your membership for 2010. So plan ahead and purchase your membership today.

Good news... FenCon VII is happy to welcome Jeff & Maya Bohnhoff as our new Music Guests of Honor. Maya is an accomplished author and performer with more than 30 years on stage. Together with her husband Jeff, they have been performing their unique blend of filk and parody since 1990.

...and bad news: Previously announced Music Guests of Honor Ookla the Mok have had to cancel this year due to professional conflicts. We certainly look forward to hosting the duo at a future FenCon.

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". All parties must be on the second 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 announce your party in the convention newsletter. Thanks.

Spread the word: Sometimes when you're telling friends, neighbors, and folks you meet about FenCon you wish you could give them a simple page of information about the convention with a way to find out more online. Our top scientists have devised the "FenCon Flyer" in a handy PDF format to fill this understandable desire. Feel free to print as many as you want.
