...in a galaxy far, far away, there was an age undreamed of, a time of myth & legend, a time of ancient gods, warlords, & kings, from the dawn of time -- well, you wizards, satyrs, centaurs, demi-gods, barbarians, warrior princesses, mortals, and immortals get the idea. 20 years after we first held T'Con in 1978, MediaWest*Con 18 salutes all our yesterdays, real or imagined.
MediaWest*Con is the definitive gathering of SF/Media fandom, held each Memorial Day Weekend in Lansing, Michigan. MediaWest*Con is sponsored by T'Kuhtian Press as a celebration of the diversity of SF/Media fandom, run by fans, for fans, and is staffed entirely by volunteers. MediaWest*Con traditionally features the Art Show and Auction, Fanzine Reading Room, Fannish Videos, Masquerade, Dealers' Room, Fan Fund, Fan Quality Awards, a Con Suite and a Party Suite, and many, many panels on a wide variety of topics representing many areas of interest; programming is determined by member input and participation. We have no official guests. The name MediaWest*Con is a service mark of MediaWest*Con.
MediaWest*Con 18 was held in Lansing, Michigan, May 22-25, 1998 (Friday -- Monday, Memorial Day Weekend). The post-con Progress Report has been mailed to members of MW*C 18. We will continue to update the various award lists, etc., as that info comes in.
