T-shirts
The order has gone in for the conference T-shirts, and I'd just like to say that a T-shirt will be a must have this year. Our Guest of Honor Charles Vess has designed a lovely image that will grace the program cover as well, and the T-shirt color is a striking deep red that sets off the image beautifully. Because of the extra work involved in creating the shirts they will cost a little more than usual, but they'll be so worth it.
Our esteemed President Mike Levy plans to buy some for his family, and is somewhat sad that the shirts don't come in a size small enough for the family cat. That's how incredibly gorgeous the shirts will be.
For those of you new to the conference, T-shirts are available for sale in the bookroom.

Roundtable Readings Online
If you've checked out the conference program available on the website, you'll have seen that we have two roundtable discussions this year, one for the Science Fiction division and one for Popular Culture and the Visual Arts.
As in past years, we're making the articles that are the focus of the roundtables available on the website for the convenience of members who might not have easy access to the print versions. This way, members who want to participate in the roundtable discussions will be able to read the articles before the conference.
Because of copyright concerns, the articles are password protected.
The Nye essay, for the SF Roundtable, is available at the site. The username is "icfa-27" and the password "2006". The article is in pdf format, so you'll need the freeware Adobe Acrobat Reader, and it is a fairly large file at 25mb, so if you're on dial-up it might take a little time to download.
We hope to have the PCVA Roundtable Reading up soon.
