<h2>Interview with Norwescon 33 Writer Guest of Honor Vernor Vinge</h2>
<p>Norwescon 33 is proud to host Vernor Vinge as Writer Guest of Honor.</p>
<p>Dr. Vinge is the author of such works as "True Names" (1981), <em>A Fire Upon the Deep</em> (Hugo Award winner, 1992) <em>A Deepness in the Sky</em> (Hugo, Campbell, and Prometheus Awards winner, 2000), and "Fast Times at Fairmont High" (winner Hugo Award for Best Novella, 2002). His latest novel, Rainbows End, won the Hugo and Locus Awards in 2007.</p>
<p>While a professor of mathematical and computer sciences at San Diego State University (he retired in 2000 to pursue writing full-time), Dr. Vinge explored the idea that accelerating technological change would fairly quickly result in a world qualitatively different from today, and in some ways unknowable, in his essay "The Coming Technological Singularity." His work often deals with people exploring the boundary of this phase change.</p>
<p>Dr. Vinge took time this week to talk to Raymond McCauley about important philosophical questions, technology wish lists, and a glimpse of what's on his desk (including a peek at the draft for <em>The Children of the Sky</em>!) for the Norwescon eNewsletter.</p>
<p>(Editor's Note: All links added by the interviewer.)</p>
<p><strong>Norwescon:</strong> Lots of folks know you as the originator of the term "technological singularity", and some people know about your early and eerily predictive take on networked culture and security in "True Names". What don't we know about where you were especially prophetic?</p>
<p><strong>Vinge:</strong> So far I'm pretty happy with the track record of Rainbows End, though the transition from "this is crazy" to "this is blasé" is happening painfully fast for that novel.</p>
<p><strong>Norwescon:</strong> Do you have any spectacular misses that you want to share?</p>
<p><strong>Vinge:</strong> :-) There are some extremely embarrassing miscues in my story, "The Accomplice", which is reprinted in <em>The Collected Stories of Vernor Vinge</em>. It's a good example of a common feature of science fiction: the mixture of wildly wrong speculations with occasional bull's-eyes.</p>
<p><strong>Norwescon:</strong> When can we expect Rainbows End the movie? Or a graphic novel adaptation of "True Names"? How do you feel about your work being adapted in other mediums?</p>
<p><strong>Vinge:</strong> No plans for such are on the horizon :-) Such adaptations can be wondrous things (better than the original), but commercial, legal, artistic issues make them rarr events... (<em>continued at norwescon.org</em>)</p>
<h2>Local Writer Spotlight: Ken Scholes</h2>
<p>New from Tor this week is <em>Canticle</em> by Ken Scholes, the sequel to <em>Lamentation</em> and book two of five in The Psalms of Isaak series.</p>
<p>"The sequel to Scholes's stellar debut, 2008's Lamentation, ingeniously fuses epic fantasy and postapocalyptic science fiction. Magicked assassins kill numerous leaders from across the Named Lands and send the region into economic and political turmoil. Amid the chaos, Jin Li Tam gives birth to General Rudolfo's son, sickly Jakob. As Rudolfo sets out in search of a cure, young Marsh Queen Winters ascends the throne of her people only to realize her past has been an elaborate lie; former Androfrancine Pope Petronus risks his life to bring some semblance of peace to the realm; and Nebios ben Hebda uncovers bombshell revelations regarding the Order's 'metal men' and the history of the Old World. Abounding in prophecy, myth and mystery, this grand-scale saga is a towering storytelling tour de force." - Publishers Weekly Starred Reveiew</p>
<p>Originally from Washington state, Ken now makes his home in St. Helens, Oregon with his wife, Jen West Scholes, and his newborn twin daughters, Elizabeth and Rachel. When asked if we would be seeing Ken again at Norwescon, he said, "I wouldn't miss it! Spending most of my life in the Puget Sound area, Norwescon is truly my hometown con. It's one of the first cons I attended when I was trying to break in as a writer and I intend to keep it on my calendar. It's become a homecoming that I look forward to each year."</p>
<h3>Author Events</h3>
<p>Ken has kicked off a west coast signing tour this week with many dates in the Northwest. Stop in and say hello and, of course, look for him at Norwescon in April!</p>
<p>10/15 Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma WA <br /> 10/22 St. Helens Bookshop, St. Helens OR <br /> 10/26 University Bookstore, Seattle WA <br /> 10/27 Powell's Books - Cedar Hills Crossing, Beaverton OR <br /> 11/12 Waucoma Bookstore, Hood River OR</p>
<p>For more information about Ken Scholes visit his website.</p>
<h2>Programming Update</h2>
<p>Norwescon features over 500 hours of panel programming presented by more than 200 panelists, covering such diverse subjects as science fiction, fantasy, science, costuming, art, writing, genre media, as well as a myriad of other topics of interest to fans.</p>
<h3>Writers' Workshop</h3>
<p>The Fairwood Writers and Norwescon 33 invite you to participate in the annual genre fiction writing workshop at Norwescon to be held on April 1-4, 2010.</p>
<p><strong>The deadline for electronic submissions of short stories and novel excerpts in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres is December 20, 2009.</strong> <br /> Click here for complete rules and guidelines.</p>
<h3>Single Pattern Contest</h3>
<p>This year's Single Pattern Contest features Simplicity pattern #2972 - a shoulder bag! Whether you sew or not, like to costume, dress in garb or just enjoy attending the convention, everyone needs a good shoulder bag. Use it for your purchases in the dealer's room, to hold your collection of swag or to carry all the things you need while attending panels! <br /> Click here for complete rules and guidelines.</p>
<h3>Eleventh Annual Fandance Film Festival</h3>
<p>Forget about the tuxedo, the parachute, and the collagen injections - this is a film festival you can have fun at!</p>
<p>Announcing the Eleventh Annual Fandance Film festival, hosted at Norwescon 33! Eleven years of madness, eleven years of filmmaking, eleven years of seeing all the latest and the greatest and the funniest and the weirdest and the most bleeding, squealing, giant smashing roboting edge entertainment still available without extensive tipping (mind you, we're not saying "no"...). 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 integral part of this is, of course, the movies. We need 'em! The shorter, the better (ten minutes maximum length - no minimum length) and any genre is fine (but if you're smart, you'll realize that this is a sci-fi/fantasy type convention) but the judges reserve the right to be way grossed out by what they see. Click here for submission rules and guidelines.</p>
<h2>Now accepting Exhibitor Applications!</h2>
<h3>Art Show</h3>
<p>The Norwescon art show staff is thrilled to present John Jude Palencar as Norwescon 33's Artist Guest of Honor. His award winning work will be the highlighted feature of this year's art show. Along with our many great artists that we have had in the past, we are excitedly looking for new faces to bring to the show.

<h2>Norwescon eNewsletter September 2009</h2>
<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Tracy Knoedler and I am the Chair of Norwescon 33. I took last year off to travel and spend time with family, but I'm so happy to be back as your current Chairman for Norwescon!</p>
<p>Norwescon 33 is scheduled for April 1 - 4, 2010 at the DoubleTree Hotel in SeaTac, Washington. I hope that you take the time to register now and, trust me, it's never too early to make that hotel reservation as we typically fill our room block early!</p>
<p>I am very pleased to announce Norwescon 33's stellar lineup of guests: our Writer Guest of Honor is Vernor Vinge, our Artist Guest of Honor is John Jude Palencar and our Special Guest is Cory Doctorow! 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>
<p>Remember that you can visit norwescon.org throughout the year for the latest Norwescon 33 news and happenings.</p>
<p>See you at the convention!</p>
