<h2>The New PR Alpha</h2>
<p>You may have noticed that your PR Alpha is a little different. In order to conserve funds and go green, Norwescon has decided to mail out an abbreviated version of the regular PR Alpha and provide detailed information at our website. Visit the home page at norwescon.org to view this document as a PDF with live links.</p>
<h2>Statement From the Chair</h2>
<p>Hello, all!</p>
<p>Time is flying by and Norwescon 33 is quickly approaching! It’s hard to believe that it’s already November – and that means it’s time for us to let you know how plans for the convention are progressing.</p>
<p>I hope you take a moment to read our progress report. You’ll see that our wonderful team of volunteers have been putting in countless hours trying to make Norwescon better and better. Each year we try to out-do the previous year by implementing fresh programming, new and exciting special events, and by welcoming new dealers in the Dealers Room and new artists in the Art Show. That’s just the beginning! We’ll have much more to report in our second progress report in February.</p>
<p>We want you to join us! Please take the time to make sure you have sent in your membership and made those hotel reservations. We don’t want you to be left out!</p>
<p>The countdown has begun! See you April 1st, 2010.</p>
<p>Tracy Knoedler <br />Chair, Norwescon 33</p>

<h2>PROGRAMMING UPDATE:</h2>
<p><strong>New wonders of panel info-technology are in development!</strong></p>
<p>We are tearing down and rebuilding workshops, panel topics, and panelists. We have the technology and know how to panel info-technology make them better, stronger, faster. Over 400 hours of panels are in the works for your enjoyment this year. We will have over 70 hours of science-related panels and workshops focusing on space, biological, technical, and fringe science. Some of the other topics we will be testing will be art, writing, literature, comics, movie previews, costuming, horror, urban fantasy, fandom, media, fan fiction, gaming, young adult, and more. The programming staff is working diligently coming up with diabolical ideas to keep you hopping with plenty of things to do and check out. Here are some of our workshops:</p>
<p><strong>Writers Workshop</strong> The Fairwood Writers & Norwescon 33 invite you to participate in the annual genre fiction writing workshop. Deadline for submissions is December 20, 2009.</p>
<p><strong>Single Pattern Contest</strong> The pattern selected for this year’s contest is Simplicity pattern number 2972 – a shoulder bag! Regardless of your skill level (and even if you don’t sew!) you can create an entry.</p>
<p><strong>11th Annual Fandance Film Festival</strong> The Festival is a celebration of low-and no-budget cinema, brought to wondrous lurching life by amateur filmmakers from all around the Pacific Northwest.</p>
<p>The Programming testing department is always looking for panel suggestions. If you think you have what it takes, please send your suggestions to programming@norwescon.org. Please keep your eyes to the stars or at least the Norwescon web site for programming updates as the year moves on.</p>

As always, these guests will be joined by hundreds of professionals from the science, science fiction and fantasy community in order to provide you with the most intriguing and entertaining panels to attend!</p>
<p>Our Executive Team has been working hard this summer and we are ready to hit the ground running at the first ConCom meeting which is this Saturday, September 12. Join us at the meeting and find out how you can volunteer. Our volunteers are the best in all of fandom and I have no doubt that all of their hard work will make Norwescon 33 the best convention yet!</p>

<h2>Volunteers needed!</h2>
<p>Do you know that Norwescon is run entirely by volunteers? Over 250 people generously give their time each year in order to make Norwescon the best it can be for its members and participants.</p>
<p>Some people assume that when you volunteer you are giving away all of your time at the convention. Not true! We only ask for as much time as you would like to give and you get to choose which department you volunteer for. Plus, there are many volunteer positions available for those who would like to only volunteer during the months preceding the con.</p>
<p>Here's how you can get started:</p>
<ul>
<li>Take a look at the Norwescon Organizational Structure</li>
<li>Decide which area interests you and drop an email to volunteers@norwescon.org or email the department directly.</li>
<li>Stop in at a ConCom meeting. The next meeting is this Saturday, September 12.</li>
</ul>
<p>We hope to hear from you soon!</p>

<h2>HUGO NOMINATIONS</h2>
<p><strong>Sunday, 2pm, Cascade 10</strong></p>
<p>The 2010 Hugo Award Nominations will be announced Sunday at 2pm at a live event being covered on ConReporter.com. You can come watch in Cascade 10, or anywhere you can get the internet. In case of last minute connectivity problems, the alternative location will be the foyer outside the Evergreen Rooms.</p>
<h2>GRAND 3 CLEANUP</h2>
<p><strong>Tradition! Tradition!</strong></p>
<p>Remember the Night Owl cleanup after the Saturday night dances of years past? Of course not.</p>
<p>Now we really need your help during daylight hours right after the Swap Meet on <strong>SUNDAY</strong>, starting at 2pm in Grand Ballroom 3. We need to pack up all the equipment and go home. Give us 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or more of your time; we'd love to have you.. The more volunteers we get the sooner we get done. Thank You!</p>
<h2>ARROOOOOOOOO!</h2>
<p><strong>Hear the Baying of the Hounds of Art!</strong></p>
<p>If you haven't been by Artists Alley you really need to come by and see what is going on. Artists are in rotation and there are artists here today who weren't here yesterday. Digital, traditional, sculpture, jewelry, knots and loads more! We have face painting again today and some grat pros available to look at your work or do commission work. Check the schedule to see when things are happening. You will not be disappointed! We are here from 9am to 6pm.</p>
<h2>TAIP TAYP? TAEP?</h2>
<p><strong>Spelling is hard</strong></p>
<p>The description for "The Dummy is You" panel says that you need to bring paper tape. This is another VICIOUS LIE. You need to bring <strong>DUCT</strong> tape. Also a bank statement, two picture IDs, and a note from yr mom. Saturday 1-3pm, Salon.</p>
<h2>VOLUNTEER, YOU SMEGS!</h2>
<p><strong>win prizes! first place: a convention! here! today!</strong></p>
<p>Come to the Volunteers Lounge and show us what you're made of: test your strength, win the race, or show us your elite skills, and you could win one of many fabulous and fun prizes.</p>
<h2>DON'T DO WHAT I SAID, DO WHAT I MEANT!</h2>
<p><strong>stupid computers</strong></p>
<p>Saturday Evening, Cascade 3's 7-9pm schedule is completely wrong. It reprints Friday's schedule. I blame cosmic rays, n-r rays, manta rays, and Ray Harryhausen, who can't be thrilled with the remake.</p>
<p>It should be Cymbric Early-Smith (7pm), Roberta Gregory (7:30), Alan Clark (8pm), and Mark Henry (8:30pm).</p>
<h2>USS CHINOOK CLUB MEETING</h2>
<p>The USS Chinook will be commissioning their Nebula Class (Variant II) Starship on Saturday, April 3rd, at 4pm in the Maxi's Saloon at Norwescon! they invite you to join them for the ceremony and celebration.</p>
<p>"Our purpose is to have fun in a futuristic setting, enjoy the company of like-minded individuals, and give back to the community via our various charities and community service activities. We have monthly crew meetings on the 3rd Saturday of the month.</p>
<p>If you are interested in joining us on the USS Chinook, please check out our table at Norwescon, go to http://www.usschinook.org, or email information@usschinook.org."</p>
<h2>DRUNK DICTATION IS AWESOME</h2>
<p><strong>take that, sanity!</strong></p>
<p>Okay! International Bank of Timbuktu fuckin' owns all of you. The fact you were not there makes you a very sad person indeed. Ummmm... Oh yeah! Ordering drinks by colour, which in retrospect was <em>awesome</em>, rock band, <em>drunken</em> rock band, annnnnnnnnnnd titty-ante poker! And they had no-fail mode on adn drunk nerds were like "I'M IN A BAANNNNNNNNNNNNND" and "YEAH LOVE THIS SONG" so the whole fuckin' party would flop back and forth from room to room, goin' AWESOME SONG / TITTIES! / AWESOME SONG / TITTIES! Everywhere else fuckin' sucked, y'all need to step it up. they're open again tomorrow. If you aren't there, this convention sucked for you.</p>
<p>Then we went to Biohazard, right, and we went to go up to the bar, and this guy was like, <strong>THERE'S A LINE</strong>. And I was there for 15 minutes and I don't think this line knows it's a line. "Do you know there's a line for alcohol?" And we were like "FUCK!" And so we get in line and finally one of my friends knows this line isn't like a line, so we ask people in front of us, and they're "There's a line?!" and we just want some fuckin' alcohol! and he's all like <strong>THERE'S A LINE!!!</strong> and you and your non-line line suck.</p>
<p>I felt really bad for Party in a Box, because I'm, like, they have candy, and dinner and shit, and they have their beds out. I'm pretty sure people are gonna find that and go HOLY CRAP FOOD AND BEDS and I'M HOME DUDES. We walked in there at like 9:30 and were like "oh this room's gonna be really popular around 12:45." Then there was rice crispie sushi and gummy bears and these gummy bears like work out, right? Because they're all muscle. It was like IT'S LIKE FUCKIN' CANDY SUSHI and OW IT HURT MY FACE!</p>
<p>Then we went up to the penthouse which is like nerd bar, and it's fuckin' boring, it was, it was literally a country bar, but instead of country hicks you had nerds, and it was just as boring. And none of them were talking about anything and drinks were like ten thousand dollars and you had to ride the elevator allllll the way up here and I had to ride it allllll the way down and all the people brought their <em>spawn</em> and I'm a <em>guy</em> and I'm gonna have my period by the time I get down there! This is bullshit! And this powerpuff girl got all mad at me and was like, "I'm old and you didn't compliment me!" and it ended with me getting punched and one shouldn't get punched by a powerpuff girl for insinuating they were old. That's just rude.</p>
<p>Anyway, and in closing, I can play rock band when I'm drunk. It's a skill.</p>
<h2>OVERHEARD</h2>
<p>"I've never been on a date with <em>two</em> people who were wasted." "<em>You</em> have not been to the right clubs."</p>
<p>"If there was ever a man who would choke to death on his own balls, it would be him."</p>
<p>"The weather is pretty good on the Genesis Planet, though — the Spock is in bloom, and really lovely this time of year."</p>
<p>"We ought to <em>frame</em> this. This is like nerdcore to the <em>core</em>."</p>
<p>"Didn't you bring any mundane clothes for Saturday night?"</p>
<p>"It seems like we just don't have good assassinations like we used to."</p>
<p>"I love Vernor Vinge. If I were still fertile, I'd have his babies."</p>
<p>"Who said this?! We could get Verner Vinge <em>laid</em>. C'mere, Vinge, we can get your ass <em>laid</em>. Seriously, we should call him."</p>

<h2>DRUNK ART CRITICISM IS AWESOME</h2>
<p><strong>does our artist goh have a sense of humor? let's find out, shall we?</strong></p>
<p><points at programme book centrefold> This is an anal-retentive dragon. <em>THIS</em> is an anal-retentive dragon! This dragon is fucking bored. See these things? This dragon stacked these things himself. This is <em>wrong</em>. Did he contract this shit out? No! He fucking did this all on his own on a Tuesday night when there was nothing on TV. This is bullshit! And what is this in this fucking mountainside? He <em>carved</em> that. This is some art hippie dragon. NO! HE'S GOT ARCHITECTURE SKILLS! STOP HIM!! God damn. Never fuck with an art hippie dragon! Especially when he has fuckin' laser beams coming out of his back.</p>
<p>That picture's been bothering me all weekend.</p>
<h2>DRUNK FOOD CRITICISM IS ALSO AWESOME</h2>
<p><strong>does our hotel have a sense of humor? let's find out, shall we?</strong></p>
<p>ok ok ok ok ok next year if the cafe is not fuckin' open until one in the morning like it says it is on the goddamn wall we should fuckin' riot. We should bring that bitch down. Not the whole hotel, just that part. It says 1am on that fuckin' sign on the wall and they're all WE DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS ANYBODY IN THE HOTEL and there's like 2900 of us, bitches. And that's all I got to say. PS HOTEL I LOVE YOUUUUUU</p>
<h2>DID YOU KNOW THE POPE IS A LOBSTER?</h2>
<p><strong>you can find that shit out on the interweb, man. no, seriously.</strong></p>
<p>I don't know what it is with Biohazard but these guys decided they're some trendy LA club in the middle of nerdville and they have a line that's like a mile long and the hotel's only one block so how does that even work? Guess where we didn't go! Fuck that.</p>
<p>Okay however. To start out with. 5452. If there was an alcoholic version of pleasantly getting the shit getting kicked out of you in a back alley, you would find it in 5452. we found this really awesome party that doesn't exist, it's like a seriously secret thing, we had to sit through a presentation thing, they even gave us a little chip, my as still hurts where they injected it, we had to sit through this fucking thing, it's call the Teodoro Family Party. If you find these guys, they know their shit, man. They got us well and truly lit, just out of the kindness of their hearts. We went from fucked up to WOAH OMG in like nothing flat. And we were pretty fucked up already.</p>
<p>The only note I have in my notepad is there's this secret party I'm not supposed to talk about.</p>
<h2>FOUND</h2>
<p>"I ♥ Brains" button, in dealer's room. Ask AmyCat at Book Universe for it.</p>
<h2>GRAND 3 CLEANUP!</h2>
<p>Did you dance the night away? Did you watch or participate in the Masq? You're invited Sunday afternoon after the Swap Meet (around 2pm), the lights are up and you get to see the magic. And we'd love for you to help us tear down the magic and pack it up. Wow, will it all fit in those boxes?</p>
<p>The more volunteers we get, the sooner we get done! Come help!</p>
<h2>MATCH GAME PRIZE!</h2>

<p>Our final panel of Movie Previews will start right at Noon and run until 2pm in Evergreen 1-2. The list of "Why Why Why?" is longer than ever! If you haven't seen the latest from Hollywood, drop on by.</p>
<h2>OVERHEARD</h2>
<p>"I'm not saying you ARE a tool, I'm saying I HAVE your tool."</p>
<p>"I do have privilege. I'm white, I'm male, and appear mostly gender conforming, except when I open my mouth and eight yards of chiffon fall out."</p>
<p>Pat Booze to Doug Booze: "Officer Jim said there's no sex in marriage; sorry, honey."</p>
<p>"He's Sicilian. It took us four hours to shave him from head to toe."</p>
<p>"It's somewhere between 'yum' and 'my mouth is being violated.'"</p>
<p>"What was your grade?" "I dont know. My paper was returned to me in an urn."</p>
<p>Her: "Are you going to follow me all night?" Him: "Not if you go to your room."</p>
<p>Cory Doctorow: "[Science fiction] was the love that dared not speak its name."</p>
<p>"I'm really curious to see what comes out on paper. It's like the Nuremberg trials of drunk."</p>
