Saturday Night (Interstitial) Specials -

As a special service to our Honored Guests and cherished members, FOGcon will provide unique programming opportunities available nowhere else in the universe. On Saturday night at 2AM—at no extra charge—we will suck your soul through the vortex and fling you out at 3AM.

This exciting side trip includes:

A Guided Tour of Veniss Underground

Boiler Room In The Basement

Honoured Guest Jeff VanderMeer leads interested parties down a specially dug tunnel beneath the Holiday Inn to explore the real-life location in which his fictional Veniss Underground was set. Warning: The con does not provide safety gear, weapons, or retrieval services for anyone lost on this expedition.

The Six Magic Words Of Guaranteed Publication

Gold Rush A

Ann VanderMeer will reveal the true secret of getting published: six words that will ensure that, if you include them in your story correctly, you will see print!

Fritz Leiber Reading/Q&A

607 Rhodes, in a different building

Fritz Leiber will be reading from his recently completed work, as well as answering audience questions.

Pat Murphy Teaches Wognax Zarbling and Alter-Ego Development

California Room, alter-ego overflow to Washington.

While she admitted in her program signup that she is not a professional Wognax zarbler, she aspires to be, and who doesn't? She'll provide her very skilled amateur guidance for those of us who have always wished to zarble Wognaxes (some Wognaxes provided, but feel free to bring your own). Once the Wognaxes are suitably zarbled, Pat will also advice people on how to develop their own alter-egos. Warning: Any alter-egos developed will not be allowed to attend Sunday programming unless they buy a day pass.

In addition, the trip through the vortex will include a tour of Valhalla, featuring the famous Valkyrie floor show starring Thor in a bubble dance with Baldur the Beautiful.

Sadly, due to the nature of the vortex, all memory of these interstitial sessions will be erased from your mind—again, at no extra charge. Because we're about value for our members.
