Worldcon 2006, Los Angeles, rates rise Sept 12th!
« on: September 09, 2004, 02:11:15 AM »
Okay, I have just registered for Worldcon's 2006 edition. Here's the relevant info:

LACon IV, the 64th World Science Fiction Convention
Anaheim Convention Center
Aug. 23-27, 2006 (Wed-Sun)
$125 until Sept. 12, 2004

Yeah, Anaheim isn't even in Los Angeles, but it's got a great convention center. Frankly, it's far bigger than Worldcon needs--the Boston convention center was just about the right size, perhaps a little larger than needed. Anaheim convention center is huge, though not on the San Diego scale. Anime Expo had 30K people, with a couple other events going on at the same time. LACon II (1984) was the largest Worldcon ever, at 8,365. LACon III (1996) was only 6,703. Both were at that same location.

BTW it's right next to Disneyland.

MoD, I feel your pain.  I want SO MUCH to register right now, but I just know if I do August 2006 will roll around and I'll have a newborn or - with my luck - twins.  Two years is just .... waay too unpredictable.

And here you go.
