<h2>Fandance Film Festival</h2>
<p>Forget about the tuxedo, parachute, and collagen injections-this is a film festival you can have fun at!</p>
<p>Welcome to the Twelfth Annual Fandance Film Festival, hosted at Norwescon 34! Twelve years of madness, filmmaking, and of seeing all the latest, greatest, funniest, weirdest, and 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>More than just movies, this 120-minute extravaganza of entertainment will also include the filmmakers, who will regale you with terrifying tales of their productions. Be there, or be a regular right quadrilateral!</p>
<p>The Fandance Film Festival is the final phase of the "Let's Make a Movie!" workshop. The workshop walks participants through every step of making a movie, from conception to the premiere of the finished product. This year at Norwescon also marks the twelve-year anniversary of "Let's Make a Movie!"</p>
<p>For more information please visit http://www.norwescon.org/filmfestival/</p>
<p><em>This panel is scheduled for 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, April 24, 2001, in Evergreen 3 & 4. A membership is required to attend.</em></p>
<h2>Kinuko Y. Craft Offers an Exclusive Opportunity for Her Fans</h2>
<p>The art show staff has been working closely with Kinuko and her husband Mahlon on her attendance as this year's Artist Guest of Honor. Borsini-Burr gallery of Montara, California, who represents Kinuko's art and prints exclusively, graciously gave the Crafts permission to offer prints of her work in the convention Print Shop that the Crafts have specially prepared for Norwescon. A very limited number of these signed archival prints will be available for purchase. They include art that has appeared on the covers of many of Patricia A. McKillip's books and some of Kinuko's personal favorites. In addition to these prints, the Crafts are showing three amazing giclées on canvas. Signed and numbered limited editions of these for purchase will be made available by direct order from her gallery. And of course Kinuko will also be showing some original work as well as working sketches, all of which will also be offered to her fans. This will be an amazing opportunity to see and collect Kinuko Y. Craft's work and your art show team is excited to be able to present this stunning work to you.</p>
<h2>Let's Make a Movie!</h2>
<p>The "Let's Make a Movie!" workshop's a mile-a-minute combination of workshop, improvisation, and technology, and for the past decade has been regularly producing short films from each and every workshop.</p>
<p>In the "Let's Make a Movie!" workshop, everybody joins in on a round-robin soup-to-nuts moviemaking experience. The workshop exposes the writhing entrails of the filmmaking process, to show -- through a hands-on step-by-step process -- to each and every participant that not only can they make a movie, but that they can make a fairly decent movie with a story and a structure, with practically no lead time or prep time.</p>
<p>If you want to review a few movies that have come about from this workshop, please check out "Con of the Dead," and "Manslugs!: the making of a sci-fi original" at http://www.guerrilla-productions.org/Downloads.html which are more horror/sci-fi in flavor.</p>
<p>The workshop heads include local low-budget filmmakers Edward Martin III ("The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath," "Flesh of my Flesh," etc.), Eric Morgret ("Strange Aeons: The Thing on the Doorstep"), Ryan K. Johnson ("Star Trek: The Pepsi Generation," "Flesh of my Flesh"), and Brian Oberquell (Pyro and effects specialist from Vancouver BC).</p>

<h1>CSI: CON SCENE INVESTIGATOR #0</h1>
<p>Norwescon 34 <br />Thursday, April 21 <br />We wrote something funny here.</p>
<h2>WELCOME TO NORWESCON 34</h2>
<p>I want to welcome you all to Norwescon. For those of you who don't know, Norwescon is a 100% volunteer-run event. We have spent the last year putting together this year's convention. Consequently, we have four exciting days of programming, paneling, and events planned for you! We are always looking for ways to improve Norwescon so feel free to find me or any of my fellow department heads to chat. But don't be surprised if we ask you for help as we bustle along to make certain you have a great time! Thanks for coming and see you around the con.</p>

<h2>MANGO THAI BY WALLY PARK</h2>
<p>The Thai restaurant and bar across the street is open. We stopped in Wednesday for dinner. The food was excellent and the staff eager to please. Their menu is reasonably priced and features all of the standard Thai items along with a few house specialties (pad thai & chicken rama were the dishes we tried). We were impressed with the openness of the restaurant and the willingness of the cooks to add spice to our dishes (1 - 5 spice levels, 5 is going to be fire, we tried 2 & 3). They also have brown rice on the menu, which is always a nice thing to see. Combine the atmosphere with the good food and ber on tap, how can you go wrong?</p>
<p>Q: How many Victorians does it take to screw in a light bulb? <br />A: [Ahem] We do not discuss this with ladies and children present.</p>
