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 (AKA Hospitality 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. Once again, MediaWest*Con 20 was held in Lansing, Michigan on Memorial Day Weekend, May 26-29, 2000. As always, programming was determined by member input and participation. PROGRAMMING | MASQUERADE | FAN FUND | FAN Q ART SHOW | FANNISH VIDEO | DOOR DECORATION CONTEST
