Reading Group starts back in August! http://www.thinkgalactic.org/2011/07/06/think-galacticon-3-about-to-happen-reading-group-starts-back-in-august/ http://www.thinkgalactic.org/2011/07/06/think-galacticon-3-about-to-happen-reading-group-starts-back-in-august/#comments Wed, 06 Jul 2011 16:00:42 +0000 heathergalaxy http://www.thinkgalactic.org/?p=293 Think Galacticon 3 is about to happen! Check out the Think Galacticon Website and see what we have in store for you this weekend! Our Notable Guests are fantastic and our programming is engaging. We hope you can make it!

That said, we will be restarting the Think Galactic Book Group as the concom will once again have free time. The first meeting after the con is 7:30PM August 11, 2011 at Myopic Books. Our first book is NK Jemisin’s The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. With Nora coming to Think Galacticon, you’ll have a chance to purchase her book and get it signed.

Bring your suggestions to what else you would like to read in the next year to that meeting as we will be picking out what to read for the following year.

See you at Think Galacticon and happy reading!

Notable Guests announced! http://www.thinkgalactic.org/2011/03/03/registration-open-for-think-galacticon-3-notable-guests-announced/ http://www.thinkgalactic.org/2011/03/03/registration-open-for-think-galacticon-3-notable-guests-announced/#comments Thu, 03 Mar 2011 23:04:19 +0000 heathergalaxy http://www.thinkgalactic.org/?p=285 We now have both of our Notable Guests announced: Adrienne Maree Brown and N(ora). K. Jemisin (who is up for a Nebula for best novel!)! We are very excited to have both our guests and expect it to be an extremely engaging and fun weekend July 8-10 in Chicago!

If you go our webpage you can read more about both of them, register for the con, and suggest programming: http://tgcon3.thinkgalactic.org/

It’s currently $40 for a regular membership and $35 for students until 3/31. The price will go up gradually until it is $55 at the door, so get your tickets now! The earlier you get the tickets the more you help us be able to pay for the upfront costs of running a con. It’s a win-win.

We also have youth memberships (ages 10-17) at a constant $25 and supporting memberships for those who cannot attend for $15. As always, you can donate however much you want to make this con happen.

Parents: We will again be having free childcare for children 9 and under, so please sign up your child(ren) for a free membership as well if you are a parent planning to attend.

Also, it is you who this con is for, so please suggest programming, volunteer, and email us to let us know what you want to see at Think Galacticon 3!
