In fact, we were… or at least Meredith was, representing us on Sacramento’s LiveWire TV broadcast!
You can watch the video of the entire thing below the cut; Meredith’s segment starts about 1/2 way in.

Cellist-singer-songwriter Unwoman will be gracing us with a teatime performance in the atrium/solarium space in the hotel. Unwoman’s songs, with their powerful lyrics and electronic beats under classic cello, will captivate you.

With timeless songs about love gone wrong and classic covers, Unwoman has been a featured favorite at major steampunk, goth, and sci-fi-related events all over North America. In addition to solo work, Unwoman has performed with Amanda Palmer, Voltaire, Abney Park, Rasputina, and Vernian Process.

Look to the atrium/solarium for musical happenings throughout Friday!

Westercon 66’s intrepid co-chairs have made a few media appearances in the podcastverse:
JackalCast 010 (talking all about Westercon, naturally)
Nerdvana episodes 5a-5d (talking about Doctor Who, with Westercon news cleverly slipped in along the way):
Westercon 66 will be on hand at both Further Confusion and Gallifrey One in the near future.
Further Confusion (“FurCon”) is January 17-21, 2013, at the San Jose Convention Center, San Jose Marriott, and San Jose Hilton, in (logically enough) San Jose California, while Gallifrey One is February 15-17, 2013, at the LAX Marriott in Los Angeles, California.
We’re also sending folks out to smaller events all over the Western Region.
At FurCon, look for our Fan Table, and join us on Friday night for our infamous This is an Ordinary Hotel Room* party!
You might even be able to join co-chair Kevin Roche for a spin in his fleet of flying saucers.
At Gallifrey, we are hosting a special pre-convention version of the Ordinary Hotel Room* party on THURSDAY evening in room 110.
Look for our representatives at the convention all weekend; several of the committee members are also helping host the “Torchwood 4 Cabal” A Room Party Called Mercy in the same room on Friday Night.
*These are NOT meetings of covert operators. Got that? No Secret Agents here. Nope.

Westercon 66 will be on hand at both Convolution (Nov 2-4, 2012, Hyatt Regency SFO, Burlingame, California) and LosCon (Nov 23-25, LAX Marriott, Los Angeles, California).
At Convolution, look for our fan table and for signs pointing to our Saturday evening This is an Ordinary Hotel Room* party! In addition, Convolution has generously offered us space for an open committee meeting on Sunday November 4.
At Loscon, once again, look for our operatives behind the Westercon 66 banner at our fan table. There, however, you should seek out the Ordinary Hotel Room* party on FRIDAY evening.

Yep, it’s con time again! This weekend Westercon 66 will be at the long-running and infamously fun Gallifrey One!
Look for our fan table – you can register if you haven’t all ready! And, of course!, we will be having a party. Stay tuned for details.
We won’t have a fan table, but we will be hosting a party Thursday night. Since the theme for Further Confusion is The Infurmary, we invite you to join us for The Mysterious Room Party of Doctor Moreau.
Further Confusion is being held at the San Jose Convention Center January 12-16, with the attached Hilton and Marriott hotels as host hotels.
The party will be at the Marriott in Room 403; we expect to open the doors at 9pm and shall tweet the room number and opening announcement as soon as we’re ready to go. If you are attending FC, be sure to check out our operation!
