I know nothing about SiliCon , and apparently a specific site for it has not yet been chosen. This will be the 60th World Science Fiction Convention . This will be the 61st World Science Fiction Convention . If there are Web pages for any cons that I don't know about, or if there are cons that I have completely forgotten about within a few hours' drive of Madison, please let me know . In order of most recent back to my first con.
Cities are the nearest major city, if reasonable to list it rather than the actual city.
My first west coast convention, Potlatch is a small book-oriented convention. 2000 Guests of honor were author Charles de Lint and Madison fan Jeanne Gomoll. She was one of the founding members of WisCon and indeed of Madison fandom. The con itself had its usual good programming, and the art show has been getting better each year and was really excellent this year. Windycon 25 was a little better than 24, but I was still disappointed.
