the weekend of the con and I will be running a fan table there. Drop

*LoneStarCon 3 offers limited time membership special*
*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*
November 19, 2012
SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- LoneStarCon 3, the 71^st World Science
Fiction Convention, has announced a special two-week membership
sale running Nov. 19-Dec. 2.
Attending memberships will be available for the reduced rate of
$170 until midnight, Dec. 2. In addition to full access to the
convention, attending memberships entitle the holder to make
nominations for the Hugo Awards, receive pre-convention
publications and advance information featured guests, exhibits and
special events such as the LoneStarCon 3 International Film Festival.
"The committee saw this as an opportunity to say 'Thank you' to
the fan communities who've given LoneStarCon 3 so much
encouragement and support," said Laura Domitz, convention
co-chair. "Think of it as getting a jump on the end-of-year
holiday spirit."
Regular convention membership rates are scheduled to increase Dec. 31.
LoneStarCon 3 will be held Aug. 29-Sept. 2, 2013, at the Henry B.
Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. The Mariott
Rivercenter and Mariott Riverwalk will serve as the host hotels.
This marks the first time since 1997 that the Alamo City has
hosted a Worldcon, when LoneStarCon 2 drew thousands to the
downtown convention center.
The guests of honor list for LoneStarCon 3 includes Ellen Datlow,
James Gunn, Norman Spinrad and Willie Siros, with Paul Cornell
serving as toastmaster and featuring special guests Leslie Fish
and Joe R. Lansdale. Artist guest of honor Darrell K. Sweet
tragically passed away Dec. 5, 2011.
*MEMBERSHIPS*
Attending membership rates for LoneStarCon 3 are normally $180 for
adults, $110 for young adult (17-21 years old), $75 for children
(16 and under) and $480 for family memberships. The listed
membership rates are good through December 31, 2012. The sale only
lowers the rate for adult attending memberships ($170) and family
memberships ($460).
LoneStarCon 3 is also offering a military discount rate of $110,
which is not subject to future increases.
