On
September 11, 2001 the world changed. Like most people, we tried to
comprehend the incomprehensible destruction and loss of life. And, like
many, we were forced to reexamine our priorities. We know that putting
on a convention isn't finding a cure for cancer, or solving world
hunger, or anything seemingly important in the overall scheme of
things. But over the years we have heard from many of you that MediaWest*Con
has played a significant role, as a safe haven in troubled times, as a
vacation destination, as a welcome respite from the work-a-day world.
We have tried to create an atmosphere where SF/media fen can spend a
weekend immersed in a wide variety of fannish activities, a place where
diversity is the order of the day. If anything is to be learned from
9/11 it is that we need to celebrate the philosophy of IDIC, now more
than ever.
In that spirit, we dedicate MW*C 22 to the continuing story, the sequel, the episodic, the multi-part story arc — in other words, To Be Continued... |
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. Programming is determined by member input and participation. The name MediaWest*Con is a service mark of MediaWest*Con.
