Convention News
Art Show Load In Thursday Night 10/4/06
We have just been notified by the hotel that we will be able to load in and start setting up the Art Show on Thursday night (the hotel is very booked up and did not have a final schedule for the event prior to ours until this week). While it will be a little late for a traditional Albacon Non-Banquet, we will be setting up the Art Show display panels starting at 7pm Thursday night. So, if you are free Thursday night, stop by the Crowne Plaza Pearl Street Room and lend a hand. We will have refreshments for the hard working volunteers. See you Thursday night.
