Distant Horizons, Epic Adventures

Write out of this World

Norwescon, a proud supporter of EMP Museum's Write out of this World writing contest, is excited to announce in conjunction with EMP the winners of the contest on March 18th. You can see the winners by visiting us on the Norwescon Outreach page or by visiting EMP's Write out of this World webpage.

Vampire: The Masquerade - V20 LARP

Emerald City Chronicles presents: Vampire: The Masquerade - V20 LARP - Pride Goeth Before the Spring

The year is 1919. The steamy industrial magic of the Victorian age is coming to a final, grasping end in frontier Seattle, giving way to an era that will be ruled by ruthless gangsters, flirtatious flappers, and bourbon-soaked speakeasies. You are Kindred, undead, vicious, and beautiful, and tonight is a night for intrigue. Join the court of Seattle on a unique night of blood, politics, and subterfuge. Join us in Maxi's Ballroom on Friday 3 p.m.--8 p.m. for character generation and prelude (all ages) and Saturday from 10 p.m.--2 a.m. for the full game (21+ with ID).

GoH Autographs

Due to the unprecedented level of interest in our Writer Guest of Honor, we are having two additional signings in addition to our usual Saturday afternoon GoH autograph session, including one early on Thursday before most of our panels and events begin:

Thursday 2 p.m.-3 p.m. Evergreen 3&4
Friday 1 p.m.-2 p.m. Grand 2
Saturday 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m. Grand 2 (joint signing with Artist GoH Julie Dillon)

Please be aware: Due to time constraints, we can permit only one signature per person, no personalization, and a strictly-enforced maximum of 375 people in line each day so everybody gets a chance for an autograph. And as always, Norwescon does not charge a fee for autographs.

Youth Track Needs Boxes!

Due to its extreme popularity last year, we are expanding the cardboardpocalypse known as Build & Destroy a City Kaiju Style! On Thursday from 3-6 p.m. in Olympic 1 is our kids-only session, and Saturday from 2-5 p.m. is our family session. And we need boxes to smash!

Be a part of The Smashening! Please bring clean, odor- free, flattened boxes (2ft x 2ft x 2ft maximum, please!) to the next concom meeting on Saturday, March 14, at noon or to the Stuffing Party on Sunday, March 29, and the Programming department will take them off to storage. We'll also have a collection area at the convention, to be announced at a later date.

Want to be notified when and where you can drop off your boxes at the con? Contact us through our web form.

Volunteers

Call for volunteers! Our stuffing party will be held Sunday, March 29, 2015, at the SeaTac Doubletree starting at 11 a.m. and running until we are done. If you have a yearning to stuff bags with flyers and goodies, this is the place to be! Come join us for the fun and occasional impromptu sing along!

For everyone interested in volunteering at the convention, please note that the Volunteer Lounge has changed locations this year. We will be located in rooms 7106 and 7108. Feel free to stop by any time and ask for a job or just hang out. Hours will be posted by the door.
