The Hotel Staff looks forward to MarsCon every year.The owner is Pakistani and is there most of the weekend. A few years back, we asked for permission to set up a decoration in the main lobby. He enjoyed it so much that every year he is asking us what we are creating for the lobby this year. He also enjoys our Dance Troupe, so they get asked back every year. This is a smaller hotel - when it comes to the number of rooms - but when the hotel truly wants you there then it is hard to leave.
Just a quick note on the tentative schedule for Jim and Shannon. Before I post this --- THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE ---- Friday: 6pm Opening Ceremonies 7pm Jim & Shannon panel (Working Title: Urban Fantasy) Saturday: 12noon - Jim's panel (reading potentially) 1pm Jim and Shannon Signing 3pm Jim Q&A. Sunday: Early morning panel (Their flight leaves around 1pm so they don't want to be late)
Now this is subject to change. Also as a favor to the MarsCon staff. For the members of this board - Please don't hog Jim and Shannon all to yourselves. Give the other fans a chance. See you at the con.
