I've nixed electric cars rigged out in laser tag gear driving for points through the lobby. Any one else have ideas of panels, people, or programming that they would like to see?

Thanks,

The parking garage adjacent to the Con Hotel is a Greenville Public Garage that has a price of $6 per day and is open to everyone. The hotel rooms start at $129.00 for the HonorCon room block.

The www.honorcon.org website is live, should anyone want to visit!

You should update the room price on Honorcon site.

I'm doubtful, at ~4 hours drive it's hardly local for him and aside from two shorts in one of the early anthologies he hasn't done anything in the Honorverse. And while another Prince Rodger book is supposedly in the work, unless it's actually out by then John won't have anything new (and relevant) to promote.

Also, November's getting into the cold weather when he writing starts kicking into high gear.

First of all just want to say that I love those prices.

My wishlist would have to include a panel of the Ad Astra Guys, because I would like to see what they have for us next.

I would also add a panel about the Movie.
