CoastCon Information

News from the Chairman

Hello, everyone, this is your Con Chairman,
Rebecca Smith, speaking. As you can see, we’ll be back
at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum for CC 32 and back to something closer to our traditional dates. We have a few guests lined up and there are more to come. We just about have a full house as far as staff is concerned, but I am still looking for some wonderful, bright, go-getter to tak. If you’re interested, you can contact me through the staff list (or the Coastcon Board list) on this website.

            It looks like we will not be returning to the Quality Inn as host hotel next year. There are reasons for that, but I won’t bore you with them here. If you were at CC 31, then, well, you might have your own reasons for not wanting to return there, but let’s just put that behind us. We are feeling out the possibilities with other hotels and should be able to publicize our results very soon.

          Mechacon IV is coming up in Lafayette, LA August 1-3 and reps from Coastcon, including myself will be there to talk up the con, put out flyers and, hopefully, sell some pre-reg memberships. So, if you’re going to be in the neighborhood and you’ve been wanting to corner a board member and make them listen to your ideas, then here’s your chance.

Until next time, have fun!
Rebecca Smith, CC32 Chairman

 

What is CoastCon?
CoastCon, Inc. is a non-profit organization that hosts Mississippi's Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention. The corporation is run by a ten-member Board, the members of which volunteer their time to host events throughout the year to promote "fandom" in the Southern Region. Each year CoastCon, Inc. hosts a three-day convention; the 2008 convention will be "CoastCon 32". During this convention we will raise money for our sponsored Charity,  Hope Haven Children's Shelter.

When and where?
CoastCon 32 will be held March 20-22 2009 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Times:
 Friday Noon - 1:00 AM
Saturday 9:00 AM - 1:00 AM
Sunday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

What will happen at CoastCon 32?
As you can see from the navigation bars on the left, CoastCon offers a lot of different activities for science-fiction, fantasy, animé, comic book, horror, and gaming fans. Fans will have the chance to meet a variety of media, art, author, gaming, and science GUESTS, and can attend PANELS AND SEMINARS hosted by each guest. Art enthusiasts can browse through our ART SHOW, then bid on pieces in the ART AUCTION. Our MERCHANT ROOM is a great place to buy unique, fannish items (great for finding jpgts for the geek in your life!). The vendors from the Merchant Room, along with businesses in the community, donate items to our CHARITY AUCTION to help us raise money for Hope Haven. For those who like to dress up and get on stage, we have the COSTUME CONTEST and the "SLAVE AUCTION". And one of the best parts about the convention....the GAME ROOM, which hosts all kinds of gaming during the weekend. We hope that you will join us!

How Much Will it Cost?
The price for pre-registering is $35.00, at the door it will be $40.00. Admission for children 9 and under ("Hobbits") is free. We do have special rates, please visit our REGISTRATION page for more details. Note: The discounted pre-registration deadline expires on February 24, 2009.
