God damn it!

Once again, it is time for the annual Baycon Programming dance! The cone is about two weeks away. I've been a panelist for the last few years. And for the third year in a row, I have no idea if I'm coming back this year!

How difficult is it to compile a list of e-mail addresses and make contact with panelists in January? I've already had contact with Orycon.. and that is in November! This is just unacceptable. Because I am expecting to be a panelist. If I'm not, that means that neither Kiri or I can afford the convention.

Several e-mails to programming have gone unanswered, and I've even e-mailed the chair to ask what was up? Nothing.

Pisses me off. The con is drowning in politics if they can't get a simple staff position filled in time to contact panelists in a timely manner.

What does it take to get a concert at Baycon? Months and months ago I sent e-mail to "music@baycon.org" or whatever the address was on the web site and got no response. I tried it again; no response.

I tried "programming@baycon.org" and heard nothing.

Also, why are the concerts always at night where they conflict with the open filking?

This is probably better taken offline rather than continuing to take up space here on a subject most people probably don't care about.

Agreed. I can be reached at "figmo@rahul.net (mailto:figmo@rahul.net).
