oldcharliebrown has posted an entry titled Recognising Female SF/F/H Magazine Editors, which lists 18 names so far, and is looking for more.

These are not suggestions as such, they are memory joggers for when you are trying to think of things for those awkward categories. More suggestions welcome. I'm happy to keep updating this until nominations close.

Due to Gafiation on the part of some members of the Fancy Dress Conspiracy, and hard economic times affecting others, the usual suspects will not be putting on a Fancy Dress Party this year. That will free up a Sunday evening party spot for someone else who has a fabulous party idea, so get your suggestion in now!

We've had six years of really great parties, that, we think, have done a modest bit to increase the Sartorial Splendidness of the WisCon community. We've had a lot of fun with it, been frequently awestricken by the great clothes, and want to thank everyone that's shared the experience with us.

Hello!

This is my first year as Coordinator for The Gathering, which takes place on the Friday of WisCon, from 1-4pm. At The Gathering, you can greet old friends and make some new ones as you peruse the many tables and activities available for your delight and amusement.

Of course, in order to have activities available, we need people to host said activities.

Please write to gathering34@wiscon.info with any offers you might have to host activities (with a description of said activities). Write there also with any questions you might have.

Thanks!
