	WisCon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		WisCon, the Wisconsin Science Fiction Convention, is generally acknowledged as the world's leading feminist-oriented science fiction convention and conference.
		Broad Universe, an organization with the primary goal of promoting science fiction, fantasy, and horror written by women, also originated in a discussion at a prior WisCon; as did the Carl Brandon Society, which is dedicated to addressing the representation of people of color in science fiction, fantasy and horror.
		WisCon 30 (May 26-29, 2006) was an anniversary Wiscon, and many previous Guests of Honor attended.

	Wiscon 30: Celebrating 30 Years - page 1 of 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Wiscon lures an especially high caliber of writer, both as guests and attendees.
		Wiscon celebrates the feminist in sci fi and fantasy every May. I choose to attend Wiscon for this reason.
		At Wiscon, I find myself reminded of the unlimited possibilities not only for entertainment, but for the opportunities for social commentary and calls for justice spec lit provides.

	SFRevu Review
		WisCon honors writers, editors and artists whose work explores these themes and whose voices have opened new dimensions and territory in these issues.
		In honor of 30 years' worth of WisCon's, the con committee did its best to have as many as possible of former Guests of Honor (see WisCon History and WisCon Guest) in attendance.
		WisCon normally has about 700 attendees (up from 200 in the first year.) This year, the Con Committee capped attendance at 1,000 -- often filling rooms and halls to capacity.

	SF Site: Stardust Memories
		WisCon "Celebrates women in science fiction." So when I organize my inventory for WisCon I specialize in comics by women creators, in comics with strong women characters, and certainly comics which I've seen to be popular with women readers.
		WisCon is a small convention, with only limited resources for underwriting the expenses of guests.
		I did some research on Vess' interest in WisCon (well, at the Charles Vess website) and I learned that Vess had also attended WisCon in 2000, mainly because Charles de Lint was a guest.

		You wont remember meeting me at WisCon two years ago but my pals (Terri, Midori, Delia and Ellen, etc.) speak very highly of you and your guest of honor speech was splendid.
		wiscon was awesome except that i was as sick as a dog and doped up.
		As to Wiscon next year, I always hope to come, but it depends on the health of the coffers.

	30 May 2006: WisCon 30
		Also, this was the biggest WisCon ever, at 1000 people (hitting the concom's membership cap); although I don't mind big cons, that's a lot of people to cram into the Concourse Hotel, and I find I need to take breaks to be by myself from time to time and recover from people overload.
		I admit that despite WisCon being a feminist SF convention, I don't attend for the feminist content.
		The parties I wanted to attend were mostly backloaded to Sunday night, but I had a lot of fun at the LiveJournal party, meeting a few new people and seeing a number of people I knew, like Cliff and Agent Xpndble.

	Emerald City - #58
		Another year, another Wiscon, and another opportunity for the Secret Feminist Cabal to subvert the patriarchy, indulge in wild lesbian orgies, and sacrifice hapless men to the Great Goddess.
		I've said before that Wiscon is one of the best-run conventions I have ever attended.
		Now Jeanne is one of the founding mothers of Wiscon and has been a leading light behind the convention ever since.

	spacecrab: The Un-Planed of WisCon
		It's midnight after WisCon at O'Hare Airport, and I'm settling in until morning: trapped in the (fairly mild, actually) twilight world where the Un-Planed and Un-Suitcased dwell.
		WisCon 30, in Madison, was a wonderful convention.
		One of us went back to the Concourse Hotel for the WisCon dead dog party, two of us en route to the Bay Area through Denver took their hours-late flight from Madison to Denver and rebooked a Denver-to-San Francisco flight for tomorrow afternoon.

	AlmaNews - Wiscon is the best con ever..
		It was a good panel but like MOST panels on topics that begin to expand and have unexpected ramifications we discovered a lot of the latter too late to deal with them in an adequate manner...
		I went to the post-mortem panel, discussion how WIscon 30 had gone, and there was almost universal praise.
		Wiscon is on my list of "conventions I really must try to get to at some point".

	WisCon 22: May 22-25, 1998
		WisCon 22 was held over Memorial Day Weekend, May 22-25, 1998, at the Concourse Hotel in downtown Madison, Wisconsin.
		WisCon 22 featured three Guests of Honor: Sheri S. Tepper, Delia Sherman, and Ellen Kushner.

	Lorem Ipsum: WisCon report (long)
		My first WisCon, a few years back, was amazing; the beyond-GLBT-101 panel was mind-expanding; people in panels and in the hallways were saying things I’d never heard anyone say, rich and complex conversations that were careful to avoid knee-jerk reactions or bashing anyone, that took different perspectives into account and didn’t stop at simple answers.
		So far as Wiscon was concerned, I did notice that just about everyone was attacking politics, but I didn't think of it as exclusionary (probably because I share similar beliefs) so much as preaching to the choir/beating a dead horse.
		I've got a whole set of theories about the problem (the WisCon panel problem in the context of a larger social problem), theories worked out mostly through long conversations with Matt (who gets even more worked up about the problem than I do), but the theories continue to not be succintly articulated.

	Whatever: All The Cool People at Wiscon
		Wiscon is a feminist SF convention and it has an academic streak as well, so many of the attendees look (and are) like grad students, professors and the like (writers by and large have a closely-related look to these) as opposed to the "traditional" con look -- although there's a lot of that, too.
		Re: Wiscon -- this was my first too, but my impression taking to folks was that indeed, this was a fairly average Wiscon in terms of quality of panels/readings, which means good things for the convention in general.
		I did think this was a fairly average WisCon overall, in terms of programming and so on (it's my fifth consecutive one), but the number of interesting people just gets higher every year.

	WisCon 29: Schelly's Account - page 2 of 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		WisCon introduced me to the shocking variety of writing available, and reminded me to dig a bit deeper than the local shelves of bookstores.
		WisCon unveils the shrouded and lesser-known writers of quality, paring down the buzz and publicity to a single fundamental essential: great writing.
		I will likely take the plunge and attend more Cons, but I can assure you I will continue to visit WisCon each May. For more information on WisCon, its history and past guests, please visit their web site at sf3.org/wiscon.

	Robin McKinley: The Wrong Speech (Wiscon 2005)
		I would have made an exception for Wiscon, I think, because Wiscon is Wiscon and as anyone who has read some of my web site or heard me speak before knows, the fact that my books seem to be full of women and female creatures doing things and having adventures is not an accident.
		But I'm generally sympathetic to Wiscon's idea that while we were all created equal certain subdivisions of said equality need to band together occasionally and do bolstering exercises with others of the same persuasions, and feminism is definitely one of my persuasions.
		I had told my minder here at Wiscon that I have to be able to pick up my email every day — never mind contact with my husband; my clients have to know that I'll get back to them within 24 hours.

	Lorem Ipsum: WisCon 2007 notes
		Hotel rooms for WisCon 31 are going fast; already there are no Governor’s Club rooms left.
		The hotel will sell out before the con, so if you’re planning to go and you don’t already have a room, you should stop by the Concourse Hotel web page and reserve a room.
		If you, too, want to be kept up-to-date on WisCon developments, all you have to do is follow that link and give them your email address.

		Thanks to so many of you for holding down the fort with so many debates and conversations while I was gone.
		Then I went to the Concourse Hotel to use the bathroom and there were all these people every where with the Wiscon things around their necks.
		Coming out of the fannish tradition, it is a place where the attendees, the con committee and the program participants are a mixture of writers, janitors, professors, clerical workers, clergy, editors, artists, housewives and househusbands, and everybody else who cares about SF/fantasy (a distinction which is itself pretty recent).

	Black Pot Mojo: Wiscon 30 - journey well
		I'm back from Wiscon 30, where I had a wildy fun weekend, yes indeed, and like quite a few others I'm sure, the re-entry back to my everyday world has been swift and sobering.
		Watching the historic parade of the Guest of Honors as they followed the lovely WisCon Godmama and her Mojo Wand...
		On some topics, the hierarchial, raised dais thing might seem feasible, but the wonderful thing about the WisCon panels is that there is so much good wisdom and experience in the audience.
