TusCon 39

News:
1. TusCon 39 is scheduled for November 9-11, 2012 at the Hotel Tucson CityCenter in Tucson, AZ.

2. The author S.M. Stirling has accepted our offer to be our Guest of Honor this year! Stirling is the bestselling author of the Emberverse series.

3. The hotel has kept the rates they had for us last year: $69 for a studio room; $79 for a 2-room suite or kitchenette & $89 for a Jacuzzi suite (see below). The room block at the hotel closes on October 18, 2011. Be sure call 1-888-784-8324 to reserve your rooms early. Also be sure to ask for the "TusCon Science Fiction Convention" room block (and use the whole phrase) so you will get the Con rates, at least have a chance that the reservations person will find the room block correctly and so that TusCon gets credit for the room nights. Thanks!


Notices: 

- Here is a map of the Hotel identifying which type of events are held where.
