News:

1. TusCon 37 is scheduled for November 12-14, 2010 at the Hotel Tucson CityCenter in Tucson, AZ.
2. The authors Jim Butcher and his wife Shannon K. Butcher have accepted our offer to be our Guests of Honor this year! Jim is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of "The Dresden Files" series. His latest volume, Changes, is previewed on his website. Gotta see it! Shannon is an Industrial Engineer and an accomplished writer of Romantic Suspense and Paranormal fiction (the "Sentinel Wars" series plus others).
3. We are thrilled to announce that Bjo and John Trimble will be our Fan Guests of Honor! The Trimbles have been involved in Los Angeles fandom for over 50 years. It was thanks to John & Bjo that the original Star Trek TV series wasn't cancelled after it's second season - they spearheaded the letterwriting campaign to get it shown for a third season, so the show could be viewed in syndication for many years. They have headed masquerades for many cons, including WorldCons, and they are also active in the Society for Creative Anachronism.

4. We are also very happy to announce that Ed Bryant will, once again, be our Toastmaster! Ed has been our Toastmaster for many years and never fails to amuse, enlighten, confound, and amaze.

5. Based on her surprise visit on Sunday at last year's TusCon, the lady who played the original Lois Lane on TV's Adventures of Superman, the delightful Noel Neill, has accepted our offer to be this year's Special Guest!

6. The hotel has kept the rates they had for us last year: $69 for a studio room; $79 for a 2-room suite or kitchenette & $89 for a Jacuzzi suite (see below). The room block at the hotel closes on October 11, 2010. Be sure to reserve your rooms early. Also be sure to ask for the "TusCon Science Fiction Convention" room block (and use the whole phrase) so you will get the Con rates, at least have a chance that the reservations person will find the room block correctly and so the Con gets credit for the room nights. Thanks!

7. The latest TusCon 37 Flyer is here.
8. The TusCon Anime Room is back this year! Meghann is excited to show you both her favorites and latest finds.

9. TusCon Cosplay was very successful last year and we plan to make it even better this year!
