Steamcon III is almost here!

Posted on behalf of Diana Vick - Steamcon:


Dear Steamcon members,

Can you feel the excitement building?  We’re only a little over a month out.  Steamcon III will be here in no time.  Are you prepared?!


Do you have your room reserved?  The room rate expires on Monday September 12th, so don’t delay!  Make yours now!

If you don’t have your membership yet, you have until September 31st to do it online.  After that the price goes up and you will need to purchase it at the door.  One day memberships will be available at the door this year on the day they are valid for only.


Special event tickets have gone on sale!  The Airship Awards Banquet, the Amphitrite Society Tea, the Wayfarer’s Brunch and the Nautilus Concert will all be wonderful events!  You will need to purchase these by September 31st as well, except for the concert tickets, which will be available at the door, if they haven’t sold out by then.

Have you cast your vote yet?  Voting for the second annual Airship Awards is still open to anyone pre-registered for Steamcon III until September 30th.

If you are interested in competing in the Bathing Costume Competition, details can be found here:
http://www.steamcon.org/bathing.php  Though less formal, there will also be prizes given out at the Wayfarer’s Brunch for best non-British ensemble.  So get sewing and gluing and we expect to be amazed!

If you are interested in having a room party, contact us about a possible offer.  Act now, because this goes away on Monday September 12th.  Email
info@steamcon.org.

This missive goes out to anyone signed up for the Steamcon Google group.  If you do not wish to receive these emails, you may adjust your personal Google settings accordingly.  Our intention is not spam but to inform.  If you have any questions, you can email
info@steamcon.org.

Full steam ahead to the best steampunk convention yet!


Your cruise director,


Diana Vick
