ConClusion's music programming will include concerts, open filk, panels, instrument show-and-tell, and a song contest!
The song contest theme is: "ConClusion, the End of Time".
Sign up for the contest at the information booth or just come to the judging. The winner will have an opportunity to perform for the con on Sunday.
(Why sign up if you can just show up? If there are more entries than time allotted for judging we will proceed by signup order.)
International Intelligence's Sacramento Control (Westercon) was hacked.
The intrusion was detected and repelled, but not before important personnel and mission records were destroyed.
Our biggest loss? Agent 66.
Agent 66 was sent out into the field in July of 2011, with instructions not to check back in until July 7, 2013. Our best deep-cover agent, Agent 66 could be anyone. Without the missing records, we have no way to initiate contact.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find Agent 66. Agent 66 must return to Westercon at the Hilton Arden West in Sacramento, on July 4, 2013.
Find the answer to the most important question there is: Who is Agent 66?
How do you like the new look?
We never intended to stay with the basic look I tossed together. I’m very happy to see this easier to use theme for the website. The new design was created by Michael J. DeLuca of Sunwurm Studios.
Do you like it? What else would you like to see on the Westercon website?

Westercon 66 is pleased as punch to announce that we have our hotel!
We will inhabit time and space July 4th-7th, 2013, in the Hilton Arden West, located only minutes from the state capitol and Old Town. Early arrivals will have fireworks aplenty to ooh and aaaah at! The ginormous Arden Fair Mall awaits your shopping pleasure equally nearby, in case you need a final touch for your hall costume, or just want to check out the enormity of it.
Room pricing is a simple $109/room/night, regardless of size. Parking is complimentary. The hotel is non-smoking, and offers wi-fi, as well as all of the function space we need!
Of course, we're still over a year out, so the rooms aren't available yet for reservation, but now you know where you're going to hang your hat, or helmet.
Start making your plans to get to Westercon 66 - it's gonna be awesome!
Yep, it's con time again! This weekend Westercon 66 will be at the long-running and infamously fun Gallifrey One!
Look for our fan table - you can register if you haven't all ready! And, of course!, we will be having a party. Stay tuned for details.
We won't have a fan table, but we will be hosting a party Thursday night. Since the theme for Further Confusion is The Infurmary, we invite you to join us for The Mysterious Room Party of Doctor Moreau.
Further Confusion is being held at the San Jose Convention Center January 12-16, with the attached Hilton and Marriott hotels as host hotels.
The party will be at the Marriott in Room 403; we expect to open the doors at 9pm and shall tweet the room number and opening announcement as soon as we're ready to go. If you are attending FC, be sure to check out our operation!
With Westercon 64 now all but completely wound down, we have deactivated most of the convention’s e-mail addresses ending in @westercon64.org. Only the website, info, and chair addresses are currently active.
Have you seen the spiffy new website for Westercon 65: ConClusion? Take a look, it has a lot more details there including hotel registration information.
As soon as they get an RSS feed going on the new site, we’ll start to import news directly from the site.
