The official hash tag for Norwescon 35 is #nwc35, and our music track is using the hashtag #nwcmusic. Here’s what all of you are saying about Norwescon (pulled from a search for #nwc35, #nwcmusic, and norwescon)!
It is just a few days before this year’s Norwescon, and I hope that you all are as excited as I am.
Got too many nonperishable items in your emergency kits for the Zombie apocalypse that you need to get rid of? If so, then you should bring them to Norwescon and donate them to Northwest Harvest.
Ladies and Gentlemen, take your positions please! The Istan bull is time warping Major Tom something good. Dare to be stupid because we can (can). Never trust a Star Trekkin’ Klingon, it’ll make ya wanna shout!
Get the latest word on our plans for programming, the daily ‘zine, open volunteer positions, music, muggle quidditch, Maxi’s, and more!
We hope to see you at one or more of our panels this year. Why not collect the whole set?
Hello Norwescon ConCom members! Election season for Norwescon 36 (2013) continues!
Good news! We’ve just added two more hotels to our list of hotels close to the convention with special deals for Norwescon attendees. That brings us up to your choice of six hotels within a mile of the convention hotel, just in case you didn’t get rooms on-site!
Norwescon has a number of rooms set aside in the room block for convention professionals. Several of these rooms are left over and we are making them available to convention members on a first come, first serve basis.
Hello Norwescon ConCom members! It’s election season again — for Norwescon 36 (2013)!
Would you like to help plan, organize, and create the Pacific Northwest’s premier science-fiction and fantasy convention? January’s Norwescon 35 planning meeting will be held Saturday, January 7th, 2012.
Norwescon 35, in conjunction with the DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport, is pleased to announce that Maxi’s Lounge will be open Friday and Saturday nights for the exclusive use of Norwescon 35 attendees.
The Norwescon room block has been sold out since early November — but if you missed out on staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport, this doesn’t mean you won’t be able to stay close to the convention! In addition to the already announced Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center, Norwescon has made arrangements with three other nearby hotels.
Norwescon wouldn’t be what it is today without all of you wonderful fans helping to spread the word — and trust us, that’s very appreciated! To that end, then…here’s this year’s flyer!
A change is coming in the way we reserve rooms for Norwescon. It is a significant change for our members but we believe it will help us make more convention rooms available for our members at the cheaper convention rate.
Norwescon 35 is pleased to offer our annual Guest of Honor Awards Banquet on April 5th, 2012, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM in Grand Ballroom 2. This is a great way for our members to start off the convention by wining and dining with our Guests of Honor. Ticket and menu information can be found on the Banquet page.
Author Rudy Rucker mentions winning the Philip K. Dick Award in 1989 in this excerpt on io9 from his recently published autobiography, Nested Scrolls.
For the third year running, Norwescon is proud to co-sponsor the EMP Museum’s Science Fiction and Fantasy Short Film Festival (or SFFSFF for short).
We’ve just received an update from the Hilton Seattle Airport and Conference Center with some special incentives for Norwescon attendees!
