Guests of Honor:
ReinCONation 6 is pleased to welcome Spider
and Jeanne Robinson and Jan Bogstad as our Guests of Honor in
1996.
Spider has been writing science fiction for over 20 years, and is the
creator of the popular "Callahan's Bar" series, as well as novels such as
Mindkiller and Telempath. He and Jeanne, a former
dancer and choreographer, have collaborated on the Stardance
series. They both sing wonderfully and Spider plays a mean guitar.
Jan has been involved in Madison fandom since its beginnings in the
mid-70's, helped start Wiscon,
and co-edited JANUS. More recently, she attended the
International Women's
Conference in Beijing last year. She is
the director of the Science Fiction Research Association (SFRA) annual
conference this year.
Hotel:
In response to requests from last year's attendees,
ReinCONation returns to the Radisson South, home of ReinCONations 1-3 as
well as all Minicons since 1985. The Radisson South,
near the intersection of Interstate 494 and Highway 100, features a pool,
bar, fitness room, free parking, two restaurants, and is close to the
highly-rated restaurants of the Hotel Sofitel. Our con suite will be on
the 22nd floor, prompting various funny animals to remark to each other,
"Rather inspiring view of the 494 Strip, isn't it?" <insert KenFletch
cartoon here>
