<h2>On "Elegance and Entropy"</h2>
<p>Among the privileges of being Programming Director is selecting the theme for the next convention. Our policies only have general guidelines of what to aim for, so this is a task that takes some imagination.</p>
<p>At first glance, elegance and entropy seem to be completely contradictory. But one of the universal constants is that things fall apart, and there is also beauty in deterioration - whether it's the crumbling of an ancient ruin, the patina on antique metal,or the measured decay rate of radioactive isotopes. Many aspects of our membership seem completely contradictory as well - fantasy versus sci-fi, fine art versus hard science.</p>
<p>But we still come together every year to celebrate our differences and diversity. And that's one of the things I love most about the Norwescon community.</p>
<p>I'm really looking forward to the creative ideas this year's team will come up with to entertain us. I hope you are, too!</p>
<p><strong>Loree Parker</strong> <br /> Norwescon 36 & 37 Programming Director</p>
<h2>Community Forums are Back!</h2>
<p>In years past, we have hosted community forums on our website as a way to help our membership stay in touch throughout the year. Security issues forced us to take them offline for a while, but they're back, better than ever, and you're invited to join in!</p>
<p>Keep in touch with all your Norwescon friends, make plans for the coming con, discuss the latest (or oldest) SF/F films, shows, books, music, and games, share info on other upcoming genre events in the area, or just ramble away in the open forums.</p>
<p>You can find the forums under the "Get Involved" menu on our website, or just go here. Log in at the bottom of the page either by registering directly on our website, or by using your Facebook, Google, Twitter, Yahoo!, or Goodreads login credentials!</p>
<p>We hope you'll join us soon</p>
